Special counsel Jack Smith on Tuesday filed a motion that urged U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan to put guardrails in place to protect the possible jurors in Donald Trumpās election-subversion case.
Former U.S. Army prosecutor Glenn Kirschner suggested Smith hadnāt just ātaken off the glovesā with the move. It ālooks like heās boxed them up, taped up the box, and sent them to long-term storage,ā Kirschner said on a new episode of his āJustice Mattersā podcast.
Smith encouraged Chutkan to streamline the jury selection process with a questionnaire for potential jurors, ban their details from being public, and prohibit direct contact between attorneys and jurors.
The motion referred to Republican 2024 front-runner Trumpās attack on social media of a court official in his civil fraud trial in New York, which prompted a judge to slap the former president with a gag order.
The metaphor was so strained I wasnāt sure if it meant he was being harder or softer on Trump. Like there is a metaphorical ātake off the glovesā but if theyāre being FedExād to your grandma at some point that represents you giving up on the gloves for good and thus metaphorically the fight entirely.
Youāre exactly right. The metaphor was so strained that the resulting broth was perfectly clarified and became the base of a delicious consommĆ©.
bouilla-based
āTaking the gloves offā is a boxing metaphor that means youāre about to pummel someone badly by disregarding any rules of engagement. He followed that up with, I donāt know, an archivist metaphor? Really weird.
