Trump's federal election case to go back before a no-nonsense judge - The Boston Globe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

40% : If voters return Trump to office, he is all but certain to direct his Justice Department to kill the case or at least delay it until the end of his term.
37% : She often worked through the weekends and evinced little patience for the persistent strategy by Trump and his legal team of seeking to delay the case at every turn.
35% : Chutkan is expected to consider -- and may hand down a ruling on -- the dueling proposals filed last week by the defense and prosecution about how they would like to address the question of applying the immunity decision to the charges accusing Trump of plotting to overturn the 2020 election.
34% : The last time she oversaw a hearing in the matter was in October of last year, when she imposed a gag order on Trump, barring him from attacking some witnesses, court staff, and prosecutors involved in the proceeding.
31% : The fate of the federal election case, in which Trump is charged with plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 election, rests in part on decisions that will be made outside Chutkan's courtroom.
27% : Trump is not expected to attend, and will leave it to his lawyers to formally enter a plea of not guilty to a revised version of the indictment that Smith filed last week to address the Supreme Court's immunity ruling, according to a court filing Tuesday.
25% : Not long after the indictment was returned, she set the tone for how she planned to handle the matter by telling Trump that when he was in her courtroom, she planned to look on him as a criminal defendant, not a former president.
24% : At one point, John Lauro, a lawyer for Trump, objected to her that the trial date she had picked -- then set for early March -- was only a day before Trump was to compete in the Republican primary elections on Super Tuesday.
23% : The ruling by Cannon, who was appointed by Trump, flew in the face of both a quarter-century of Justice Department practice and previous court decisions reaching back to the Watergate scandal of the early 1970s.
