According to former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner, Judge Tanya Chutkan absolutely nailed it when she denied Donald Trump's motion to dismiss his indictment related to his attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election results on presidential immunity and constitutional grounds.
Chutkan came down firmly against the former president and his lawyer's contention made in claims that presidents have absolute immunity from prosecution for acts they believe fall within their official responsibilities and duties and, secondarily, that the indictment violated the former president's First Amendment rights.
In a video he posted to YouTube, an incensed Kirschner claimed what the former president was asking, in a broader sense, is immunity for any crimes he has been accused of committing.
Noting that Trump was attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election, Kirschner explained, that Trump is trying to get a "get out of jail free card" from Judge Chutkan or the Appeals Court, which led him to blurt, "That ain't America."
As for Trump's attempt to get a stay on the D.C. trial that is now under consideration, while claiming he doesn't have to listen to Judge Chutkan in the interim, Kirschner warned, "This is dangerous. Danger dead-ahead. This is Donald Trump testing the waters, you know, sort of trying to test out his ability to ignore Judge Chutkan's rulings, to ignore the courts altogether. Because the courts are the greatest danger to Donald Trump's power."
