To: Political Junkie Too

The court explicitly gave him the right to assert his prosecution is politically motivated. That presumably includes asserting claims to support that assertion.

What therefore is presumably not allowed:

“Jack Smith is criticizing ME? I’m a successful businessman. He’s just a pedophile!”

What presumably would be allowed (if it isn’t slander):

“Of course Jack Smith is doing the dirty work for the pedophile party! Pedophiles support pedophiles!”

(I use these only for examples, and do not mean to suggest that Jack Smith is a pedophile, or that Trump would be right to assert that he is. Either assertion is presumably slander. My only point is that they are not prohibited by THIS order.)
