Special Counsel Robert Mueller could gag President Donald Trump if he criticizes and attempts to influence the investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump camp and Russia, according to a Watergate prosecutor.
The president lashed out at George Papadopoulos on Tuesday, after court records revealed that the former campaign aide pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI – indicating that he is cooperating with Mueller’s investigation.
According to an FBI affidavit, Papadopulos attempted to broker a meeting between the Trump campaign and Kremlin officials several times during the election campaign.
“Few people knew the young, low level volunteer named George, who has already proven to be a liar,” Trump posted on Twitter shortly after 8am local time, adding: “Check the DEMS!”
Attorney Nick Akerman, a prosecutor in the Watergate investigations, told Politico Friday that Mueller could issue a gagging order to prevent the president interfering with the investigation.

Former prosecutor. From 40 years ago.
Click-bait headline at Yahoo.
ESAD, Yahoo.
Apologies for the double post.
I blame . . . . . . . (not PDJT, but)
Red wine.
You would think any gag order would be directed at Mueller’s witch hunters who leak to the stooges in the MSM.
Since Mueller is guilty as sin from covering for Clinton, Inc. he obviously knows if the b!tch goes down she’ll take him with her. Mueller’s “peanuts” are resting precariously under Hillary cloven hoof.
Foolish speculation by a has been lawyer.
I think he already makes the President gag.
Very fake news.
The President, like everyone else, has freedom of speech.
If push comes to shove Trump can issue Executive Order FUCNN which affirms the right of free speech.
Yeh. Akerman! Watergate is so “old news” and Hillary got fired from the investigating staff for unethical behavior.
Akerman - FU and your Sears law degree. You’re stale news just trying to get back into the “15 seconds of fame” game, and losing. Most people have never heard of you, don’t care about you, and never will.

Back when I was small boy, my teacher told our class to bring in a copy of NEWSWEAK because Nixon was in China.
Next morning, the scumbag and his mom that I walked to school with asked the probably LEGAL alien at the store that sold magazines if they had Newsweak.
He thought they were asking for “loose leaf”
All bets off, his mom was breaking out the cash she didn’t have to spare and then
No NEWSEAK!!!!!!!!
LOL!!!
Wouldn’t you have to know more than Joe public to be subject to a gang order!
a gag order by Muller on trump would backfire bad for Mueller if he tried to inforce it. the last thing he wants is for the supreme court looking at his operation because it would open a can of worms that he would have no control over.
Let’s see - I can fire the guy who can fire you - now tell me again what you are threatening.....
The American people could issue a neck-tie party order for the ordure in The Swamp...
Who needs special counsel. Sessions has no conflict of interest. Does he?
Only if he is mired in the swamp...
You mean “red red wiiiiiine...” ;-P
Mueller should be under investigation.
Is Newsweek ever really going to go out of business?
Exactly. If he had some connection to Uranium One, he should be gone yesterday. If not, he should get it on and build a case. Also yesterday.
