Judge warns of limits to what Trump can say about election case, agrees to limited protective order
AP via Breitbart ^ | 8/11/2023 | AP

The federal judge overseeing the election conspiracy case against Donald Trump has agreed with his defense on a looser version of a protective order for evidence in the case

Chutkan rejected prosecutors’ broader protective order proposal that sought to prevent the public airing of all evidence they hand over to Trump’s defense as they prepare for trial. She instead seemed poised to impose a more limited protective order that would bar the public release only of materials deemed “sensitive,” such as grand jury materials.

I guess it depends on what the Obama appointed judge deems as too "sensitive" to be discussed publicly.

Well, then...from their point of view I guess the j6 committee was correct to destroy all their materials.

Not that there was anything wrong with that. /s

The Jamaican bimbo again. I think that’s why the DNC’s Mainstream “media” is trying to bring down and lynch Justice Thomas. The RATs don’t want to risk killing another Supreme Court Justice and they want to open another SCOTUS slot to put this idiot in.

And yet, it has been the prosecutor who has repeatedly leaked grand jury materials to major media. The Trump team should have made the “judge” aware of the prosecutor’s behavior and required penalties for further news stories

Trump’s lawyer needs to ask the court if any constitutional protections are going to be afforded to his client or if he should just expect to be railroaded with no protection whatsoever. Seriously, is this just intended to be a show trial?

Exactly. I don’t think Trump leaked any evidence, just made some statements regarding it. They were more leaks from the prosecutor side.

My understanding is that this judge worked for BSF and represented Fusion GPS while she was there. She recused herself previously on something Trump related. Why has she not recused herself already on this?

She was too afraid to shut trump down entirely....If leaked papers suddenly showed up in the NYT and everybody would know the enemy handed them out...That would make her look bad...I doubt she wants to shut down trump’s would be executioners......

Trump should not do this. Its exactly what they want. He should take freedom of speech in a general election quickly to supreme court every time and as often as he can. They want to control what he can say. That is the whole point of the trials.

Yes, he may share any evidence that is detrimental to his defense. Everything else is “sensitive”.

Here’s what a real judge does.

Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod declared in court on Thursday
<><>that the Biden administration’s efforts
<><>to persuade social media to remove, throttle and suppress (what he considers is) “misinformation”
<><> specifically info on (a) COVID-19, (b) Hunter Biden’s salacious laptop and (c) stolen elections
<><>reminded her of a Mafia movie.

That was just one of the most memorable examples of the frosty reception Biden Justice Department Civil Division lawyer, Daniel Tenny, received Thursday from the three-judge panel WRT whether to lift or modify Biden’s ban between the feds and social media........

People need to understand that the judiciary and legal system is mostly under their control right now. We may have the Supreme Court, but they have control over the DAs, the trial lawyers, and much of the local and federal district courts. The days of impartial legal proceedings are over.
