Trump's lawyers file ABSURD motion asking Judge Chutkan to hold Jack Smith in Contempt

Time and again, Donald Trump's criminal defense attorneys seem inclined to take on the tone and tenor of their client in legal filings. Their latest motion is no exception. Trump's lawyers have asked Judge Tanya Chutkan to hold Jack Smith and his prosecutors in contempt for giving the defense discovery (evidence) and filing a motion while the case is on appeal. But they don't stop there. Their motion goes on to state that the prosecutors "unlawful goal . . . is the (a) desperate attempt to harass President Trump and prevent his likely victory in the 2024 Presidential election." Sadly, these defense motions read more like 2 am Trump posts than legitimate legal filings.

Can't Trump and his lawyers be sanctioned for filing such frivolous motions?

[Thethelement]

Lauro and Trump should be held in contempt for their pathetic outbursts. And DT isn’t the President. 😡

[Seaneey]

Trump & his lawyers are embarrassing themselves with every filing

[Roboticgladiator]

Any motion in which Trump claims to be president should be immediately rejected.

[roygbiv]

Why dont they hold 45 in contempt for still presenting himself as "President"?

[admiralackbar]

As a judge i would hold those lawyers in contempt. Frivolous nonsense like that should be dealt swiftly.

[OuneJogja]

[nanettemurray]

Thank you Jack Smith, and your wonderful team. ❤ from Minnesota.

Hold Jack Smith in contempt for properly conducting his job? Delay the trial until 2026? Trump and his lawyers are disgusting. Jack Smith and Judge Chutkin are proceeding properly.

[utopianna]

What's in absentia is Trump's attorneys' knowledge of the law and their ability to present a reasonable argument.

[cannongavinjr]

When When is the BS gonna end this is Ridiculous!!

[joannecollin]

Did these lawyers actually pass the bar examine?? It seems they are drawing at straws with nonsensical issues.

[carolynknott]

Would love to see the judge show trump the real definition of contempt

[FC-rgvk]

So desperate. Prison for the traitor already

[tsuritsa]

Isn't there a rule of ethics that can penalize these lawyers for submitting motions they know have no merit? How much absurdity does the Court have to put up with?

[terri]

Trump’s defense team is desperate. Trump is desperate. Why would anyone want Trump for president?

[vampyresimmortalkiss]

They know their orange goose is cooked. Mad scrambling going on.

[fondasarff]

I hold Trump in a contempt I never imagined I was capable of. I'm waiting for the American justice system to hold him responsible! If not there is no America anymore.

[mattbriddell]

How trump has not been declared a vexatious litigant in every jurisdiction in the country is beyond me at this point...
