Judge Cannon Admonishes Jack Smith’s Prosecutor, Almost Tosses Him From Courtroom During Hearing Over Proposed Trump Gag Order
The Gateway Pundit ^ | June 24, 2024 | Cristina Laila

Judge Aileen Cannon Monday afternoon held a hearing on Jack Smith’s proposed gag orders against President Trump. Jack Smith was in the Fort Pierce courtroom on Monday taking notes.

After Monday’s hearing concluded, the judge did not issue a ruling on the gag order.

Earlier this month Jack Smith filed a motion seeking another gag order on Trump related to his statements on law enforcement over the Biden DOJ’s deadly force policy during the Mar-a-Lago raid.

President Trump’s lawyers lashed out at Jack Smith earlier this month in response to the special counsel’s second request for a gag order.

“In Jack Smith’s most recent shocking display of overreach and disregard for the Constitution, the Special Counsel’s Office asks the Court to enter an unconstitutional gag order as one of the release conditions on the leading candidate in the 2024 presidential election,” Trump’s attorneys wrote.

Last Friday night Special Counsel Jack Smith added to his gag order request against President Trump ahead of Monday’s hearing.

In a Friday night filing, Jack Smith reinforced his request for a gag order against Trump by claiming the federal agents involved in Hunter Biden’s care are receiving threats.

Jack Smith’s prosecutor David Harbach was so nasty and rude during Monday’s hearing on the proposed gag order that he was almost tossed out of the courtroom.

Judge Cannon admonished Harbach and warned him he would have to leave the courtroom if he couldn’t act appropriately.

"Mr. Harbach, I don’t appreciate your tone. I expect decorum in my courtroom at all times. If you cannot [act appropriately], one of your colleagues can,” Cannon said to Harbach according Julie Kelly who was inside the courtroom on Monday.

“Presidents don’t have more (or less) immunity than their subordinates...”

You are conflating an elected president with appointees.

Judges have immunity. Congressmen have immunity while on the floor and Congress is in session.

She is kneeling on the ball. They WANT her to dismiss the case so they can try again, this time in DC or something, or start appealing things.

She is grinding along, slow and methodical, not taking their bait. The Supremes will rule soon, and however that goes she will trim her sails and ensure it never is completed before the election.

Smart lady.

Concur; nonetheless, dirty, slimy fighters. They don’t have the law on their side, so they are pounding the table.

lest she get replaced by some leftie like that ahole in NY.

Like one of the two anonymous judges who pressured Cannon to step aside and let a more "experienced" judge take the case?

She knows this is a phony charge by a corrupt DA.

And she is smart enough to ignore their theatrics and warn them. She warns them, then gets back to the case at hand..... and smiles and bides her time.

My hope is that they are deliberately leaving those decisions to the last day of this session so they have the barriers in place around the building and can get out of town quickly before the Antifa goons show us how insurrection is really done.

The Judge: “Where on the attachments do you see a call for violence?” Cannon said.

My question as well. They accuse Trump of calling for violence but give no evidence of him having done so. Smith’s team gives vague instances of threats against government officials but do not connect them to Trump.

The prosecution can have democrats issue threats and then blame Trump for those threats and demand the judge issue a gag order (which I suspect is what happens in most cases).

So does that mean that Adam Schiff has no immunity for the libel he committed when he told an interviewer (not on the floor of Congress) that they had evidence that Russia contacted the Trump campaign and offered the DNC emails and evidence that the Trump campaign accepted their offer?

If the J6 Committee was declared null and void because it was not properly constructed, would that make the lies they all spouted in their televised event subject to libel prosecution?

I don’t know it’s kind of good she is keeping Jack Smith and his goon squad tied up in court and wasting time filing briefs to the court. Else they’d be somewhere else trying to make up charges against Trump and his allies.

Drag it out on them and then drop the bomb with a well written ruling smacking them down...hopefully in September when people will be paying attention.

Yep.

If I was a J6 defendant I would say that I listened to Trump tell us to peacefully and patriotically make our voices heard and that’s exactly what I did, until they fired rubber bullets at a peaceful, innocent crowd. Then I remembered that Kamala Harris had said that it is patriotic to riot, especially in response to law enforcement unlawfully hurting innocent people. As a lawyer she would know that she could be disbarred for suborning illegal behavior so what she said must have been right since she suffered no consequences for saying it. So I realized that Kamala was right, and to obey Trump and be patriotic I had to heed Kamala’s incitement and riot.

Adam Schiff is just another untouchable lying democrat.

The Jan 6 committee was empaneled by the House leadership so they will skate. The ones who empaneled the committe are just as corrupt as the committee.

Lyng politicians, as a matter of professional courtesy, will not penalize their own kind for lying. Adam Schiff was censured for lying in Congress and it amounted to nothing. He was snickering after it was done.

When the lying is libel it should be prosecuted.

The DOJ messed up and SCOTUS bails them out will not stop this from happening again. I want to see a ruling on the illegal appointment of Jack Smith. Regardless, I pray POTUS Trump copied the files related to Russia Gate for that was the real purpose of the Mar-o-lago raid.

If Jack Smith is found to have an illegal position, the Florida Attorney General and state troopers should be waiting out side the courtroom to arrest him with any and every charge they can in any way place in him no matter how small. Immediately lock him up with no bail. Let him hire his own lawyers since he is not a government employee.

> ...he needs to be sanctioned for frivolous gibberish

Is that related to Authentic Frontier Gibberish?
