In the face of an expected appeal, U.S. District Judge Robert E. Jones Wednesday modified his gag order against Oregon standoff defendant Shawna Cox, limiting the restrictions on her public speech.

In his new order, Jones wrote that Cox should refrain from any conduct or speech that would incite others to trespass on or destroy federal government property, or incite unlawful violence.

It marks a step back from his earlier March 29th much broader restriction tha she not make 'any public comment' about her case, co-defendants 'or any future protest movements.'..........

I guess this federal judge in Oregon figured out there's a First Amendment or sorts, even if you're accused of a federal crime.

Judge Robert Jones backed down in the face of an appeal planned by Shawna Cox's lawyer over his all encompassing gag order of March 29th.

The last paragraph in the article writes about her talking about who she thought the informant was.

Did you see the video or transcript on that one? I have a feeling who it is.
