Trump Tests D.C. Gag Order, Blasts 'Deranged' Special Counsel
Newsmax ^ | November 13, 2023 | Michael Katz

Posted on 11/13/2023 7:13:00 PM PST by Navy Patriot

Former President Donald Trump on Monday tested a gag order imposed on him by a Washington, D.C., judge by saying those prosecuting him in a federal case involving alleged attempts to subvert the 2020 election will end up in a "mental institution" with "Trump Derangement Syndrome."

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan of the District of Columbia on Oct. 29 reimposed the gag order on Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, prohibiting him from publicly criticizing prosecutors and likely witnesses in the case, as well as members of the court's staff. Trump has said the gag order infringes on his First Amendment right to free speech.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump went after Department of Justice (DOJ) special counsel Jack Smith, U.S. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, Andrew Weissmann, a former DOJ official, and the "losers and misfits" from the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).

That doesn't matter to them. They're working to kill the First Amendment and Legit President Trump is the means by which they'll do it.

If they can do it to him, they'll damn' sure do it to us.

They’ll damn sure TRY to do it to us.

And as free Americans, per President Trump’s courageous example, we owe it to our children and our children’s children to speak out, no matter what impediments “they” try to impose.

I thought Trump missed a good opportunity to join the last debate and say these things from that stage.

There's an excellent article on American Thinker today about the huge domestic tyranny and terror launched by the FBI. The crooked effort to "gag" Trump is part and parcel of that. Worth reading...
If You Oppose Tyranny, You’re on the FBI’s AGAAVE List

As if locking up J6 protesters for their political beliefs and repeatedly arresting President Trump for opposing the Deep State had not been big enough clues, America’s KGB goon squad revealed last month that it has a whole new domestic terrorism category specifically created to target MAGA voters: Anti-Government, Anti-Authority, Violent Extremists. (Fist bump to any reader who sees “AGAAVE” and immediately thinks that it must be Tequila Tuesday somewhere.)

It’s always disconcerting to find more proof that the FBI is every bit the dangerous, psychopathic, anti-American organization that it appears. Whenever I refer to it as the “Fascist Bureau of Intimidation,” a little voice in my head asks, “Is that entirely fair?” Then I see how it’s AGAAVE’d half the population onto a terrorist watchlist, and I realize that I’m not being critical enough. This agency is Soviet Russia’s Cheka secret police through and through.

Lots more good stuff at AT...

"...we owe it to our children and our children’s children to speak out,..."

If they do this to President Trump, we'll be past the point of "speaking out" accomplishing anything.

With all due respect, I disagree with your defeatist attitude.

How does this Stalinist judge enforce the gag order? Will Trump be arrested and held incommunicado? I’m sure Trump wants this in front of the USSC as soon as possible.

I didn’t think cameras were allowed in the courtroom.

The same way any judge would enforce a gag order- sanctions can be imposed under the contempt powers of the court.

Most of the nation endured a gag order during the COVID masking mandates when most criticism was deplatformed.

Who was the POTUS?

Just sayin’.

Trump needs to force their hand. Go ahead and let them sanction a former President and present candidate. I dare them to do it.

They overstepped their bounds and they should be humiliated by Trump
