CNN — A federal judge on Monday issued a gag order on former President Donald Trump, limiting what he can say about special counsel Jack Smith’s federal prosecution into his alleged attempt to subvert in the 2020 presidential election.
The order restricts Trump’s ability to publicly target court personnel, potential witnesses, or the special counsel and his staff. The order did not impose restrictions on disparaging comments about Washington, DC, – where the jury will take place – or certain comments about the Justice Department at large, both of which the government requested.

This gag order is unconstitutional.
But Chutkin has royally screwed the procedural pooch.( GOOD!)
President Trump will appeal this gag order and this will delay the trial , perhaps until after the election.
President Trump has multiple grounds from which to appeal this unconstitutional gag order, including the comment she made that “criminals do not get to say anything they want.”
Under our system of Justice all accused persons are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.That means President Trump has the full constitutional rights , including freedom of speech to publicly criticize the prosecutor and the judge or any witness.All this schtick about “creating violence” is not factual.
When Trump gets to the part of his speech where he talks about judicial corruption, he can make a gag of it by introducing an “interpreter” who is free to say whatever he wants, while Trump merely gestures. Like a classic SNL skit.
It would be hilarious and get more attention than a simple speech.
Gives Trump ace cards to hold for an appeal and change of venue. Play their game our way. Learn the rules and racks, and then legally shove them up the leftists judges asses.
And neither do YOU; Sweet Pants.
I shudda read ahead.
nudge nudge wink wink
'Oh noes, President Trump still has the audacity not to give into the limp fury of libtard lawfare? But, but, the gag order was perfect! You can't just appeal from some Obama f@g-hag-hen's-club-weave-queen?!? President Trump must.be.silenced!'
LOFL.
