Well, the fairy tale he tells about Clint Broden, for example, painting Broden as some crusader who was unfairly gagged.

Broden was gagged specifically to prevent him from going against the judge’s orders and releasing video to the media. It was a condition of him being allowed to obtain that video before discovery. If he had been willing to wait to obtain the video, or if he had agreed not to release it to the media without the judge’s approval, then he wouldn’t have been gagged. He refused, so he brought it on himself.

And...

Yesterday Broden submitted his brief in defense of freedom of speech. So did the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association and the 25 other organizations including the Committee for Freedom of the Press.

Are they all gang apologists?

You have a little bootblack at the corner of your mouth, sir.

The gag order IS the order. There was no separate "don't share the video with the media" verbal order from the judge, which Broden rejected, so the judge wrote a gag order.

Plus, it wasn't the judge who suggested the gag order, it was DA Reyna. The exact language of the gag order came from the DA.

Plus, anybody who reads the briefs will see that you misrepresents several facets, in your remark. If the only issue was the video, then why gag more than the video?
