Judge Chutkan compared January 6 to 9/11 and the Boston bombing

The judge in charge of the Storming of the Capitol case, Tanya Chutkan, has made some controversial statements which are revealed by journalist Julie Kelly. In them, Chutkan compared the events of January 6 to the terrorist attacks of 9/11 or the Boston Marathon.

According to Julie Kelly, who specializes in tribunals, Judge Chutkan made the comparison when she announced the date to begin the trial of Donald Trump in Washington D.C.. At that time, and according to a document that Kelly exposes, Chutkan brings up that the trial for the bombing in Boston began within two years of the event.

In the same way, she also recalled that the trial against one of those involved in the execution of 9/11 was scheduled to begin just one year after the attacks in New York. The way in which Chutkan, in her brief, apostilles the decision with these data, is what makes the judge directly compare the three trials.

Trial before Super Tuesday

Judge Chutkan's choice of date, March 4, 2024, is especially controversial as it falls on the day before Super Tuesday, a crucial day for the presidential election in which Trump participates. It is pertinent to recall that Judge Chutkan was appointed to her post by Barack Obama and that records show that she was a donor to his first presidential campaign.
