Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg asks judge to impose limited gag order on Trump in hush money case
ABCnews ^ | 2/26/24 | Peter Charalambous andAaron Katersky

Posted on 02/26/2024 12:25:44 PM PST by CFW

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Monday asked a judge to impose a limited gag order on former President Donald Trump, who is charged in New York with falsifying business records related to hush money he paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

In their request, prosecutors cited what they called Trump's "longstanding and perhaps singular history" of attacking people he considers to be adversaries, including those associated with his other criminal and civil cases.

The trial in Trump's hush money case is scheduled to get underway on March 25.

Trump is already under a limited gag order in his federal election interference case in Washington, D.C., and prosecutors in Manhattan are seeking a similar "narrowly tailored order restricting certain prejudicial extrajudicial statements by defendant."

Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts in the hush money case and has criticized Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan, as well as witnesses that include Trump's former personal attorney and fixer Michael Cohen.

"[Trump] has a long history of making public and inflammatory remarks about the participants in various judicial proceedings against him, including jurors, witnesses, lawyers and court staff," prosecutors said in their filing, adding that Trump's remarks "pose a significant and imminent threat to the orderly administration of this criminal proceeding."

A common theme in all the cases against Trump is that the government demands that Trump not be allowed to mount a defense to the accusations.

For centuries, just as they and some idiots here on FR, still trash Mr. Nixon and Senator Joe McCarthy, with lies, misinformation, and smears.

“ In a series of motions filed Monday, prosecutors also asked the judge to bar the defense from introducing evidence or argument about Cohen’s credibility. Cohen was accused of committing perjury when he testified in October in Trump’s civil fraud trial.”

Seriously, how can that not be allowed? I believe his has admitted to lying under oath to congress.

Alvin says please don't allow Trump to talk about crime and illegals in NYC and my responsibility for it on the campaign trail.

IOW, only the Prosecutors are allowed to influence the public.

For some inexplicable reason, that I can't explain, other than to say that back before the flood, in PUBLIC SCHOOL, current event were a weekly topic in grammar school in NYC and my family was very interested in politic, I was quite taken, at the age of nine, by VEEP Nixon and followed him/his activity assiduously. This went on through adulthood, when I worked on both of his winning presidential campaigns. So I not only lived through all of that history, I know the facts as opposed to the damned lies about him, that continue to this day.

Sadly, the MSM and even some uneducated posters here, still claim that he was a "crook". THAT IS NOT JUST A LIE, IT IS A CORRUPTION OF THE CHECKERS SPEECH!

At the time of his making that speech, there was an ongoing investigation of bribes/payoff/"presents" of pols, but especially GOP ones, even though, as usual, the Dems were much more on the take.

A friend had given the Nixon girls a puppy ( Yes, that's IT...a puppy! ) and the MSM and Dems were pillorying Mr. Nixon, for "being on the take". So Finally, he couldn't take it any more and made a speech ON ALL OF THE T.V. networks, laying out what was what! And this speech is also where the term "A GOOD REPUBLICAN CLOTH COAT" ( as opposed to the minks that had been given to others' wives and/or girlfriends, but NOT to Pat Nixon! )comes from.

And THIS, ONLY THIS TIME, is when Mr. Nixon said:"I AM NOT A CROOK!".

Nixon was the trial run, for what has followed. And if you want more info about this stuff ( oh yes, there's lots MORE! ), just drop me a FRmail.

As well he should.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is a criminal and should have been arrested already.

It follows a pattern if you look at the case of the woman
who was just awarded over $300 million from Trump.

I don’t think Trump’s team was allowed to describe her
profession, or that fact that she made the same type of
charges against either the mayor or the governor of
New York.

They expunge information helpful to the defense, and
blow out everything detrimental to the defense.

This case and the one concerning his property values are
two fine examples of a Kangaroo Court.
