Judge Tanya S. Chutkan of the U.S. District Court will preside over the most recent federal lawsuit filed against former President Donald Trump. Evidence has come out that Chutkan previously worked for the highly regarded Washington, D.C., law firm Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP before being chosen by former President Barack Obama to serve on the federal bench. And who else did that company employ while she was there? Biden, Hunter.

Chutkan worked for Boies up until her appointment to the District of Columbia's U.S. District Court in 2014, according to her official biography. Her employment at the company reportedly overlapped Hunter's by five years, according to Breitbart.

Hunter resigned from Boies in 2014 as well after being appointed to the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, where he earned $1 million annually. Additionally, a year prior, he and Devon Archer and Jonathan Li co-founded BHR Partners, "a Chinese state-backed investment fund," according to Breitbart.

The Obama administration's point person at the time on China and Ukraine was then-Vice President Joe Biden.

In light of her time spent working with Hunter at Boies, it would appear that Chutkan's first order of business should be to withdraw from the case against Trump. Special counsel Jack Smith brought four criminal charges against Trump for his alleged interference in the 2020 election.

The reasons Chutkan should recuse herself from the case go deeper, according to Kash Patel, a former federal prosecutor and the lead attorney for the House Intelligence Committee, who spoke about this on Fox Business Network on Wednesday.

Patel's work on the Intelligence Committee revealed that the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC funded the Steele dossier, which the FBI used to support its 2016 investigation into Trump's presidential campaign over claims of possible collusion with Russia.

In order to demonstrate that Hillary Clinton and the DNC paid for [the Steele dossier], Patel said, "we got federal congressional subpoena power to go after the bank records of Fusion GPS," according to host Larry Kudlow.

Judge Chutkan was the arbitrator in that case. Because her law firm, Boies, Schiller & Flexner, represented Burisma, Hunter Biden, Fusion GPS, the DNC, and the entire Democratic entrenched encampment, she withdrew from that case, he recalled.

Patel argued that Chutkan should abstain from the current proceedings involving Trump if she thought it was appropriate to do so in the dossier case.

She withdrew from the subpoena case pertaining to the Russiagate investigation. He questioned, "How can she now be sitting on the very case of Donald J. Trump that started that pointless investigation.

Alan Dershowitz, a professor emeritus at Harvard Law School who was also on Fox Business, added, "You're absolutely right."

"[Boies] is one of the most corrupt companies, in my opinion. These people are Democratic hacks. Additionally, they are very powerful within the Democratic Party and are biased and one-sided.

Chutkan almost certainly has a horse in the 2024 presidential race, and it's not Trump, based on her work at Boies.

It is important to remember that the judge previously decided against Trump in November 2021, ordering him to give the House committee on January 6 access to his presidential records.

Furthermore, The Associated Press called her the defendant in the Capitol incursion case who "punished hardest."

Dershowitz predicted that Trump's legal team would request a change of venue while speaking with Sean Hannity of Fox News.

"The first motion his attorneys will make will be a change of venue to northern Virginia where the jury pool will be more equitable," Dershowitz predicted, adding that they might even try to move the case further away from Washington, D.C., to southern Virginia or a neighboring state.

In any case, Chutkan needs to back off the investigation.

Furthermore, any law-abiding, level-headed judge would dismiss the new case against Trump because they would understand that the Biden administration was using the "justice" system as a weapon to target the president's main political rival.
