"It’s a blind loyalty to one person who, by the way, remains free to this day." Is that statement sufficient grounds to ask a Judge to recuse? Hardly. But Trump's whole schtick is to make political arguments--because he has nearly no merits to argue. Link to a .pdf of Trump's motion attached in post below.

Donald Trump files a motion in #DC federal court seeking to disqualify Judge Tanya Chutkan from his #Election2020 interference criminal case. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.258149/gov.uscourts.dcd.258149.50.0_4.pdf
MastodonYou could say exactly the same thing about the case against Michael Cohen and you'd be reciting a simple, accurate fact -- Michael Cohen was convicted of fraud etc, served time in prison, and his unindicted co-conspirator Individual 1 (a/k/a Trump) "remains free to this day." That's simply a factual statement.
You could say the same thing about Trump regarding Comey: "The President of the United States fired his FBI Director because the FBI Director was investigating him for election fraud, and Trump remains free to this day." Another truthful statement.
Could literally go on and on with this. The Judge simply stated what those before her in Court told her to her face, all of which was widely reported -- they participated in sacking the Capitol on January 6th because of loyalty to Trump who, quite accurately, remains free to this day. That Trump is associated with these crimes, well, that's Trump's fault, not the Judge's for stating the fact aloud.
