"Just trump" (said several times in this thread)

GLAD that people seem to think it's OK for one person to have a gag order against them, but people that are testifying against him do not.

Who thinks this is fair?

I’m not going to address each one, but it doesn’t strike me as unreasonable for a judge to look at these in totality and see a pattern of language that is inconsistent with the gag order. These statements appear to me to be, at a minimum, intended to attack the credibility of the witnesses in question. There is absolutely a time and place to do that….in Court.
Thanks. I tried to find a list but all I could find is that the judge had given him a pass and had not sanctioned him for his calling Cohen and Daniels sleaze bags. (which was erroneously on the list in the link you'd posted)


Everything else seems very tame. In fact, Cohen and others had been far worse in their comments of Trump.

example:

"“LOOK WHAT WAS JUST FOUND,” the former President posted on the morning of April 10, above a photo of a 2018 statement from Daniels denying her relationship with Trump. “WILL THE FAKE NEWS REPORT" IT?”

So, Trump is penalized for telling the truth? How does the truth attack her credibility? How can anyone think that he'd threatened her with that truthful comment?

Yes indeed

The clueless Judge apparently doesn’t understand that he really cannot lock Trump up, unless he is prepared to throw what ever jail it is into pure chaos.

The Secret Service has ultimate jurisdiction wherever they go, and have full authority to direct whatever security measures they deem necessary to protect the person they are assigned to protect. If that means evacuating the entire jail, and take over the jail’s security, they have the power to do that, and no judge or anyone else can interfere or overrule them.

The truth is, no law enforcement agency can even arrest Trump, and take him into custody. LOL. The Secret Service can literally say no! You may not interfere in our security protection, and you will not. So, take a hike.

Judge threatens to lock Trump up if he violators anymore gag orders.


Election interference, much?

Who does it better? Putin or the Democrat Party?

Is this not a Threat to our Democracy? The whole RFK debacle is bad enough, but to tie up the leading opposition candidate in frivolous court dates/appearances and that candidate just so happens to be is dominating the incumbent in just about every single poll and then to slap gag orders on that candidate, and then threaten to lock him up during the final months of a political campaign is just about as bad as it gets from anywhere in the world. It's Third World, banana republic type stuff.

…nevertheless, it’s a case and will be divided on its own merits, with all the flaws of our justice system baked in.

Trump is a loudmouth and that’s never been acceptable in court.

Gag orders are usually put in place to allow the defendant a fair trial.
This judge must get his daily dose of lust power and fame fulfilled every day by twisting the rules of law to mirror his twisted mind.
Unconstitutional
Free speech denier
Due process obliterated

The things I am witnessing are such loathsome behavior
I must have been transported to a fascist commie country
Or the country has been transformed
Obama’s wish fulfilled

100% correct but all of these weaponized rigged Dem Kangaroo Court trials have helped Trump politically. Latest CNN poll has Trump up 9 point over Biden, Trump is going to landslide Biden in November.

I was going to ask what is the point of them? Why is he being ordered to not say anything not even his opinion?
