The former president’s only hope is claiming the legal system has been politicized. So why are liberals helping him?
A few years earlier, a previous special counsel, Robert Mueller, was the subject of an even more fulsome embrace, complete with Mueller-themed cocktails at D.C. bars and a “Mueller, She Wrote” podcast analyzing the great man’s ongoing investigation. And while Anthony Fauci never had the power to prosecute Trump, it’s hard not to see the same dynamic play in all the refrigerator-magnet and coffee-mug sales featuring the infectious-disease doctor, who clashed with the 45th president.
The spectacle doesn’t just enable campaign-trail Trump applause lines, either. It could affect the actual trial. A judge who’s leery about accusations of bias might prove more easily swayed on routine decisions. A throng of anti-Trumpists wearing Chutkan shirts or sipping from Chutkan coffee cups won’t make it easier to resist that kind of work-the-refs logic.
It’s easy to see why denizens of the capital, in particular, would want to turn any of these characters into a role model: Public servants sticking to the rules in the face of unimaginable pressure are the guardrails of democracy. This is not to take anything away from Chutkan’s judicial chops. It’s only to say that we citizens should expect thatfederal judge would be tough and fair and impartial and not prepared to be swayed by a politician’s social-media strategy. To put her on T-shirts because she happens to be the one doing it is to implicitly accept Trump’s idea of a system that’s rigged.
