Federal judge issues gag order on Trump over 2020 election case
Just the News ^ | 10/16/23 | Madeleine Hubbard

A federal judge on Monday issued a gag order on Former President Donald Trump to limit what he can talk about regarding special counsel Jack Smith's probe of his alleged efforts to alter the 2020 election results.

D.C.-based Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, said in court, "This is not about whether I like the language Mr. Trump uses. This is about language that presents a danger to the administration of justice," CNN reported.

"His presidential candidacy does not give him carte blanche to vilify public servants who are simply doing their jobs," she also said, as Trump runs for the 2024 Republican nomination.

Of course, the DOJ will still be allowed to leak lies to the WaPo and NYTs. Because that's (D)ifferent!

You can’t issue a gag order on a public figure... Trump will ignore this nonsense and the judge doesn’t stand a chance of making this order effective.

So the Deep State can leak (breaking the law) to the Deep State media, causing an unfair trial, but the president can’t defend himself.

This is rigged. Not a justice system.

“”His presidential candidacy does not give him carte blanche to vilify public servants who are simply doing their jobs,”

Yes, it does. That is what FREE SPEECH is all about. The commie just hates that Trump is effective and is abusing the bench.

Trump has 1st amendment rights just like anyone else bitch. Smith feeds out a lie that Trump leaked out top secret info which all the late night a-holes ran with and that was fine of course.

“carte blanche to vilify public servants”

That my friends is an unconstitutional construct.
We have PRECISELY that G-d given right protected and enshrined by our Constitution.

Her Thighness said it herself:
“we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.”

“vilify public servants who are simply doing their jobs”

Since when are public servants exempt from criticism?
