ASHINGTON (AP) — Federal prosecutors in the case charging Donald Trump with scheming to overturn the 2020 presidential election are seeking an order that would restrict the former president from “inflammatory” and “intimidating” comments about witnesses, lawyers and the judge.

Special counsel Jack Smith's team said in a motion filed Friday that such a “narrow, well-defined” order was necessary to preserve the integrity of the case and to avoid prejudicing potential jurors.

“Since the grand jury returned an indictment in this case, the defendant has repeatedly and widely disseminated public statements attacking the citizens of the District of Columbia, the Court, prosecutors, and prospective witnesses,” prosecutors wrote. “Through his statements, the defendant threatens to undermine the integrity of these proceedings and prejudice the jury pool.”

Smith and the Judge both know there is no case and are trying every maneuver to attempt a show of force.

The Commies have now gone off the deep end. It’s not only unconstitutional to prosecute a presidential candidate in the run-up to his election, but gagging him so he can’t even campaign is lunatic crazy and grossly unconstitutional. These commies have lost all perspective and they are now digging their own graves. It’s like everything else with Trump, that Trump boomerang will come back to get you.

Every one of these responses costs Trump money to respond to. Anything to run up Trump’s attorney’s billable hours.

Craig Robertson recently tested that hypothesis.

Hey, Smith, you mean that “free speech” thing? Some words are okay but not others?

Samuel Adams and others were informed they were free to make speeches on anything good about King George and the British soldiers. Anything favorable they wanted.

Seems to me that Judge Chuck in is already on record for inflammatory speech that will prejudice the jury pool.

Meanwhile the media and politicians can publicly call him a criminal or imply he’s guilty 24/7. They want him muzzled at all times while they impugn his character every day which is election interference IMO.

If this biased judge crafts such an order to silence Trump, it will be appealed to the circuit court and the Supreme Court if necessary. Delay and delay is a very good strategy when dealing with a kangaroo court. The clock expires in November 2024.
