I'm having a hard time understanding how this gag order can possibly be constitutional...

I think we all know the answer as to whether a leftist would obey a gag order.

I heard a news report during Rush today, lying that Stone posted a picture of the judge in crosshairs. He did no such thing in fact it’s absurd based on the photo. A wall behind her is loaded with unrelated words and symbols.

Well, even of gagging Stone is Constitutional, this bit...

...and no statements can be made on his behalf by spokespersons, family members or even “many volunteers,” Jackson said...

...sure as heck ain’t.

And yet Mueller and his gang of democrat operatives can continue to leak daily half-truths and exaggerations to their friends in the media...

I guess the government fears people will know the truth. I firmly believe in transparency. Our government is hiding way to much from us, obviously to save their own skin.

“the crosshairs of a gun”

I’ve never seen a gun with hair, much less crossed. Must be a new thing.

Nothing less than a Nazi show trial where the defendant is not allowed to speak in his own defense. All politically motivated.

Judge Amy Torquemada has spoken!

Weissmann sent REAL machine guns to Stone’s house but the guy who gets his mouth taped for an alleged threat is...the defendant.

A true defender of Equal Justice, right Amy?

I always thought you had the right to remain silent if you are accused of a crime. I didn’t think is could be mandatory.

He's the defendant in the case. He should be able to say whatever he wants to say about his own case.

I'd like to see Stone defy this gag order, get sanctioned by the Court, and appeal it all the way up to the Supreme Court if necessary, to get a ruling that a gag order on a defendant is unconstitutional, unless it is in regards to National Security classified information.

You mean he can’t go on GMA with Robin Roberts, while she stares woefully into his eyes, and softy whispers sympathetic questions? That doesn’t seem fair. But, then again, Stone doesn’t hold two special cards.

I’m wondering why Mueller has his own personal Obama judge for every person he charges. She has the Managort, Cohen, Gates, and now Stone?!?! Flynn was tried by a Clinton judge!

That was all the excuse she needed to gag Stone’s speech in defense of his reputation. Unfair becsuse she’s not going to gag media attacks on stone.
