Why don’t they just wait for Good Friday and crucify Trump in Times Square?

He should ignore any restriction and let them arrest them.

This is an attempt to close down our democratic process. It cannot be tolerated.

Restrict the presidential campaign for a bullshit charge out of Manhattan?

Damn it start arresting every Biden family member and his cabinet members as well. For the crimes they are committing.

Why?

Simple. Like Rush, Donald Trump left New York City and all the Democrat riff raff who live there for the greener pastures of Florida.

I would hope that De Santis would begin the arrests of New York auditors who come to Florida to audit former New Yorkers books for unpaid New York taxes,

Makes no sense that a defendant can’t speak his mind before trial. I don’t get the rationale.

************************

We have a corrupt and expensive “law system” in our nation.

It is also a pro prosecution system that conservative lawyer/politicians have contributed to greatly.
If I hear another moron belch out “law & order” or we are “a nation of laws”.....I’m going to throw up.

We’re suppose to be a “nation of people” with unalienable rights under our Constitution.

“Laws don’t make a successful nation state, productive people make a successful nation state.”

If the judge imposes such an order, Trump should say to the judge’s face:

“I am running for President of the United States.

Your unconstitutional order impacts not only my constitutional rights, but the rights of every American who supports me.

Therefore, I respectfully do not recognize your right to impose such an order, and will not obey it.”

Be like Ghandi. Nonviolent disobedience.

Everyone should make sure to attribute ALL information said on the Internet to DA leaks. “As leaked from the DA’s office...”

The DA’s wife has been leaking stuff openly on the Internet.

We continue to give consent by participating in the system. If we’d all quit consenting, the pig would starve.

“The Supreme Court will have to get involved in this, and better sooner than later”

You are CORRECT!

That should be the Trump defense strategy.

Boogieman said:

“Trump should violate the gag order, then sue the judge for civil rights violations to get the matter in front of a federal judge.”

EXACTLY!

There are SO MANY constitutional problems in charging and gagging Trump, that it HAS TO GO FEDERAL and all the way to SCOTUS several times.

For the duration, Trump will control the narrative and the headlines. There won’t be any other news.

If ANYONE has the BALLS to do this its Trump.

A gag order will basically prevent him from campaigning for president.

not tainting the case or jury

Nothing he says can taint the case or jury. The case against him is already decided. The New York jury will be also hand-picked to find him guilty no matter what. There is no way to taint this.

A gag order only applies to the case at hand, Mr. Trump is free to talk about Ukraine to his hearts content.

If they do overreach and press for a total gag order, then they are handing Mr. Trump a land his defense team a gift. Proof to use in the trial that this is just a political witch hunt.

“If they do overreach and press for a total gag order, then they are handing Mr. Trump a land his defense team a gift.”

ANYONE who thinks that the Leftists (Ukraine War Cheerleaders) will give Trump a path to continue to say what he thinks regarding Ukraine, simply have NO IDEA as to who these Leftists are.

Your summary is the best one.

This BS stands, any two bit prosecutor in nowhereville can dream up some traffic offenses to try to pin on the opposition candidate at the current Regime’s insistence.
