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.”

Yeah, How dare Trump be allowed to say things that might prejudice the jury pool... Those jurors who will be selected ONLY if they already hate Trump and will vote him guilty no matter what the reality is.
What a pantload.
The USSC might have something to say about muzzling the political speech of a POTUS candidate.
To me, saying someone is a “Democrat” is a powerful insult, but I am shocked that Jack Smith agrees.
He’ll continue until they decide enough is enough and revoke his bail. Then who knows. Maybe an ankle bracelet for only Mar a largo until trial.
Smith is his adopted name.
prejudicing potential jurors
He’s got such a special sense of humor. It’s DC, they are all prejudiced.
We need to elect President Trump again so he can start sending all these sleazy Feddies back to the fast food joints.
I would be OK with that provided that everyone else (e.g. the MSM) is forbidden to denigrate Trump about the election, that means no more “big lie” articles.
Just cut the ankle monitor off and go on..They are trying to provoke a final outcome and if they should want blood I say give it to them..
Laws and orders are meant to be broken and often as our legal system is broken and God orders us to not to obey a corrupt system. Just say no the Federals...
Reminds me of a old poster image where the American Eagle is swooping done upon a Mouse who is giving a huge Middle Finger to the Eagle yelling F*** You...That is how we must be towards the Federals.
Attacking the citizens of the District of Columbia.
Trump’s right it’s a hideaway shit hole for corruption and other lawless acts.
