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.

Even before this 95% of the media was (and is) anti-Trump, blasting away at the DC jurors’ ears and eyes.

Thankfully Trump has promised to obliterate the deep state..

Until then, the deep state has carte blanche

The judge knows this makes him look corrupt as hell - he must be getting paid a special bonus to do this.

“rigged”

Trump is a very effective and powerful communicator. The cases are weak and falling apart. They have to shut him up.

The First Amendment does.

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

A gag order according to the NY Times “... can forbid people to publicly discuss a case or aspects of it.”

Her rationale above is not addressing the normal situation involving a gag order. She is talking about Trump’s right to express an opinion about a government employee. People express their opinions about public employees all the time. It’s called free speech.

People certainly expressed their opinions about Trump when he was employed by the government.

Can’t vilify public servants?! We absolutely can and should as needed.

For example: Biden is a corrupt, dementia suffering, morally flawed, weak and pathetic liar that should never hold the position of President.

Also as noted above your articles are slightly different and from different sources, so not a re-post. My bad.

His Sacred 1A rights have been stripped. Any other individual in his place would be free to speak their Truth. That is because they aren't after him - He's just in The Way. He is being indicted for all of us.

This woman should never have been made a judge. She obviously never read the Constitution and has no understanding of US Law. Disgusting woman and needs to be impeached.
