This week at the request of Special Counsel Jack Smith, Judge Tanya Chutkan imposed a "gag order" on former President Donald Trump. She cited the risk that "allowing Trump unfettered freedom of speech could taint the jury pool and undermine the Special Counsel's efforts to gain a conviction against the leader of a huge domestic terrorist cell that is trying to subvert the authority of President Biden. Trump's contention that preventing him from speaking about a rigged 2020 election is itself an attempt to rig the 2024 election is rejected."
Smith hailed the order, saying that "Trump has abused freedom of speech to undermine our democracy. The 2020 election has been universally declared free from fraud by both government officials and all the legitimate media sources. Trump's refusal to accept this decision is what led him to sic his supporters on Congress on January 6, 2021 in a failed effort to overthrow the duly elected presidency of former Vice-President Joe Biden. As Judge Chutkan has previously pointed out, Trump should've been behind bars with his henchmen for the last two-and-a-half years, not roaming free to conduct another attempt to seize power."
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has previously opposed restrictions on freedom of speech, but has made an exception in this case. Spokesman Bertram Petty explained that "allowing the enemies of democracy to misuse this freedom for treasonous opposition to valid government authority would amount to a suicide pact against our precious civil liberties."
In related news, Jake Lang reached the 1,000th day milestone of his imprisonment without a trial for his participation in the January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol. He spent 20 months in solitary confinement where he wasn't permitted to shave or get a haircut. "They wanted us to look like homeless vagrants or deranged terrorists for our video court appearances," he said. Lang has been moved around to different prisons for the nearly three year period of incarceration. In the DC jail, he and fellow January 6 prisoners were confined to their cells for 23 hours and 15 minutes of each day. Smith called the treatment "merciful considering the seriousness of the charges against them. It's no worse than the treatment meted out to the 9-11 terrorists at Guantanamo."

Substitute a differnt and better word for “rigged”...such as stolen... and her statement becomes unintelligible. Talking about a stolen (rigged) election is not nearly the same as doing it.
What a lying sack of sh*t. In DC, you can't get an untainted Jury pool, or an untainted Judge for that matter.
Those stupid Department of Jesters clowns haven’t got a clue.
Trump is fair game. They know the shickenchit far left “media” will let them get away with anything as long as they lynch Trump for the commie RATS and der kleine führer, Georgie Sorass.
It does, and that’s the point of it.
