Judge Tanya Chutkan denied a motion from former President Trump asking her to recuse herself from overseeing his prosecution on charges related to his efforts to stay in power after losing the 2020 election.

While writing that recusal motions served a vital purpose, “justice also demands that judges not recuse without cause,” she wrote, pointing to a prior court decision noting that recusal motions can be “a procedural weapon to harass opponents and delay proceedings.”

“Motions for recusal could also be wrongfully deployed as a form of ‘judge shopping,’” Chutkan wrote.

    Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Go directly to jail. If the crooked shits in the supreme Court don't have to recuse themselves from obvious conflicts of interest while those same interests service them from both ends then Trump can go fuck himself in his fetid greased up hemroid infested anus.

    Traitorous bastard.
