Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a motion Friday night demanding President Trump’s condition of release in the classified documents case be modified to include barring him from criticizing law enforcement for authorizing deadly force in the August 8, 2022 raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida in a search for disputed alleged classified documents from Trump’s presidency. Trump reacted to the news of the deadly force authorization on Tuesday by saying the government had plans to kill him.
Introduction to Smith’s motion:
The Government moves to modify defendant Donald J. Trump’s conditions of release, to make clear that he may not make statements that pose a significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger to law enforcement agents participating in the investigation and prosecution of this case.1
The Government’s request is necessary because of several intentionally false and inflammatory statements recently made by Trump that distort the circumstances under which the Federal Bureau of Investigation planned and executed the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago.
Smith complained in a footnote that Trump had reposted a meme on Truth Social Friday:
The Government has contacted counsel for defendant Trump, who stated that they object to the Motion and the timing of the conferral on a holiday weekend; it is their position that the Government has not provided an opportunity for meaningful conferral. They do not believe that there is any imminent danger, and asked to meet and confer next Monday. However, within just the last few hours, Trump has continued to issue false statements smearing and endangering the agents who executed the search.

You do know that Trump was not in Florida at the time of the “raid”, right? If they wanted to kill him why would they go to Mar A Lago? Makes no sense
Jack Smith is a creepy totalitarian...
THerer WAS an assassination plot and now they want to violate Presidet Trumps 1st amemdment rights to speak publicly about it during a presidential election campaign?
BUahahahahahahahaha!
Even if Jack Smith obtains the gag order....IT WAS MADE TO BE BROKEN....no way that SCOTUS will uphold it.
Jack Smith is showing us just how fascist this nations democrats have become.
So defendants can’t challenge police methods and practices?
Not fascist...Maoist. The fascists were damn amateurs compared to Mao’s gang.
Tyranny has many faces and historical lines of development. JAck Smith may be Maoist ( a Commie) or he may be a utopian whose ideology justifies any act as moral ( fascist).
But to my thinking Jack Smith in any event is now wasting G-d’s good air.
