CNN — A federal judge on Monday issued a gag order on former President Donald Trump, limiting what he can say about special counsel Jack Smith’s federal prosecution into his alleged attempt to subvert in the 2020 presidential election.

The order restricts Trump’s ability to publicly target court personnel, potential witnesses, or the special counsel and his staff. The order did not impose restrictions on disparaging comments about Washington, DC, – where the jury will take place – or certain comments about the Justice Department at large, both of which the government requested.

I read that bolded part and thought "excuse me?". *Who* requested that?

At least the judge was smart enough to deny that--blatant denial of rights if she had.

[Tench_Coxe]

If she had allowed it, I should say.

Same game that was ran on Paxton in Texas.

both of which the government requested....................

The old saying was “go ahead, it’s a free country.”

Not so.

Kangaroo court of an illegitimate government. Dark times.

Big talk, but no one is game. Apparently, people haven’t lost enough of their past freedoms.

But the persecution can leak anything they want to the NYT anytime they want to.

Does President Trump think he lives in America or something?

[Round Earther]

All judicial gag orders violate the First Amendment.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Putting President Trump on trial is Washington DC is denying him a jury of his peers.
Jury's in DC always consist of leftists government workers and/or vengeful chocolate drops.

All gag orders should be against the prosecution. None at all against the defendant.

[FES0844]

Sadly not anymore.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Yep, absolutely. And I think without question the domestic enemies will find him "guilty" on a number of their BS charges and he will be sent to prison and when that happens, how the public reacts will tell us if the USA will then nose dive into a full blown tyranny, or it will it be stopped by patriots doing their duty like generations before. Sadly I think they won't do anything.

Trump can leak anything he wants as well - just have someone not covered by the gag order do it. As long as neither Trump himself or any of his lawyers involved in the trial do it personally, his campaign can say whatever they wish.

And with that, President Trump’s poll numbers will go even higher.

Hypocrites, the whole lot of them!

The order restricts Trump’s ability to publicly target court personnel, potential witnesses, or the special counsel and his staff.

Hey, that is our job. There is work to do.

Trump’s being accused of interfering in the 2020 election by the people who stole the 2020 election and are deliberately interfering in the 2024 election.

Deranged Smith and FOUR BLACK STOOGES, Willis, James, Bragg, and Sh!tkan.
