From a Washington Post column by Jennifer Rubin headlined “Judge Chutkan blows the whistle on Trump’s stay-out-of-jail plan”:

Defeated and thrice-indicted former president Donald Trump and his lawyers have yet to raise a single convincing argument, legal or factual, in his defense against prosecution for an alleged 2020 plot to overthrow the election. Legal experts and savvy political watchers think the Trump defense scheme is to intimidate witnesses, pollute the jury pool and try to delay trial beyond the election. Call it the “discredit/delay” gambit.
