JUST IN: Jack Smith Files ‘Gag Order’ For Trump; See It Here
https://trendingpoliticsnews.com ^ | September 22, 2023Updated:September 22, 2023 | By Chris

Jack Smith has filed a ‘gag order’ against former President Donald Trump, aiming to restrict public statements that could potentially influence the outcome of an ongoing trial. The order seeks to prevent comments that might sway the trial’s result or bias potential jurors, the prosecution argues.

Smith’s order cites the court’s “duty” to shield the trial process from external influences that could materially prejudice its proceedings. The order stipulates that parties involved in the case, including their attorneys, are barred from making or authorizing public statements, including on social media platforms, that carry a significant likelihood of causing material prejudice to the case. This encompasses:

Statements discussing the identity, testimony, or credibility of potential witnesses. Statements that are disparaging, inflammatory, or intimidating about any party, witness, attorney, court personnel, or potential jurors. The defendant, in this case, Trump, is also restricted from having surrogates make such statements on his behalf. Permissible Statements: The order does not prevent the defendant or his representatives from:

Quoting or referring to the court’s public records in the case without adding any commentary. Announcing the scheduling or outcome of any judicial process stage. Seeking assistance in gathering evidence. Simply stating, without any additional commentary, that the defendant denies the charges.

Jack is corrupting the rule of law and tearing away at the fabric of our country. The commie-dems are smiling at their pawns but they’ll be delt with like pawns if the need arises. The pawns are stupid.

Gag orders are fundamentally unconstitutional.

THIS GAG ORDER explains WHY all the Trump indictments came down WHEN they did.

TIMING IS EVERYTHING. Indictments right at the very beginning of campaign season. A few weeks later AS TRUMP IS CRUSHING IT IN THE POLLS, and now the Gag Order effectively silences HIS campaign.

I don’t know under what f*cking rock or shithole Jerk Smith is hiding in, HE NEEDS HANGED NOW!

I’m just surprised Jerk didn’t release this order a week or two after the first primary. I guess Jerk didn’t want to give the “impression” of ELECTION INTERFERENCE. So very Commie of him.

I think this is all part of their long-game conceived prior to Jan 6

They know any arrest will lead to civil unrest, and they now have the desire and ability to quash it

With a case that is largely about Free Speech, Jack “Torquemada” Smith, is restricting Free Speech if this order is adopted by the court. Something tells me that the court will look the other way as strategic leaks are made to the compliant press to further the election interference “enterprise” that is persecuting Brandon’s political rival.

This is where Trump has to draw a line. At som point these people have to be significantly challenged.

Exactly what they did to Ken Paxton. Right out of the commie playbook.

This is the Uniparty plan. First get rid of Trump.

https://thelibertydaily.com/gruesome-newsom-vetoes-parent-trans-affirming-law-which/

Remember yesterday we saw an article where the dirtbag Jeb Bush was speaking somewhere and talking about how he thinks the 2024 race should be between Ron DeSantis and Gavin Newsome?

Remember that Newsome challenged Meatball to a debate a couple months ago and he accepted?

Obviously, this was all planned way in advance.

Both parties working together to cheat the American people and leaving us with people we did not want.

This reminds me so much of the shenanigans run by the Bush clan down in Texas regarding Paxton.

If people fail to rise up against this evil we are going to know real enslavement.

Oh, and Newsome will be cheated right in there.

Next they will deny Trump’s right to provide evidence and call witnesses. We saw that in the bogus Jan 6 congressional investigation. A good example of what the trial will be like...

He filed a gag order.. was it accepted by the court? He can file all he wants but gag orders are issued by a judge.

The way that’s written, anybody that supports President Trump is restricted. Wearing a hat, putting a bumper sticker on your car or wearing a T-shirt is covered.

Good luck with that.

Correction to my prior comment.

It just occurred to me that Smith's gag order prevents Trump and/or his legal counsel from talking about anything in the trial that is NOT public knowledge...and that includes sharing it with family or supporters.

Being thrown in jail for exercising his 1st Amendment right and proclaiming his presumption of innocence would lead to 350+ electoral votes for him. Unfortunately, Democrats now blatantly steal elections with no legal recourse to stop it so no GOP candidate can win in 2024.
