Lawyers for former President Donald Trump on Thursday asked the judge in his Jan. 6 prosecution to keep a stay in place for a month so that the defense and special counsel Jack Smith can file their “immunity appendices” at the same time — after the 2024 election has come and gone.

On Oct. 10, several days after Smith’s immunity brief went public, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled that the prosecution’s redacted appendix should also go public since Trump’s “‘concern with the political consequences of these proceedings’ is not a cognizable legal prejudice.” At the same time, the judge stayed her order and gave Trump’s team seven days to “evaluate litigation options.”

Seven days later now, the defense has responded by asking the judge, a Barack Obama appointee, to keep the stay in place until Nov. 14, claiming “the public has been poisoned by a one-sided prosecutorial narrative.”

    Read an article in the 90s, probably not a thing anymore, but some scientists believed there were only 150 face types in the world, which kinda rings true to me.

    The rest of the differences are hair and eye color, fat or thin, etc. Wonder what facial recognition researchers know?

    And yeah, apparently I had a doppelganger roaming Tulsa in the 90s. I met people who were shocked to see me and friends were shocked to see the other guy. Sounds like our social circles were almost touching.

      It doesn’t work in the 90s as we didn’t all have smartphones but if that happened today I’d beg my friends to take a photo of/with them
