Manhattan prosecutors on Friday approved allowing Donald Trump to rip witnesses in his hush money case now that the verdict’s in — while detailing horrific new death threats they argued was tied “directly” to the convicted ex-president’s “dangerous rhetoric.”
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office agreed with lawyers for Trump, 78, that the limited gag order in the case — in which a jury the presumptive Republican presidential nominee guilty of covering up a payment to a porn star — should be lifted as it relates to trial witnesses like Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels.

But the rest of the order — which is designed to protect the safety of people involved in the case — should remain in place, prosecutors said, highlighting 56 alarming new threats received by Bragg, his family and his staff since April, that the NYPD deemed “actionable.”

Shame what this country has come to.
The CIA and FBI could easily find out who’s making the death threats... just make a side deal with the Brits. They’ve done it before to try to ‘get’ Trump - so they know how it’s done. I’m guessing these ‘death threats’ are coming from the left and they’re the equivalent of fake hate crimes.

Boo, hoo, hoo. They deserve Helocopter rides.
“Shame what this country has come to.”
All because at the end of the civil war we did not eliminate ALL Democrats. Party of slave owners.
Sounds to me like someone is complaining that others are not respecting the law?
FACT:
The GOP HQ in NC was FIREBOMBED and a day or two later, graffiti was sprayed painted on the dem HQ.

I do not condone violence, but I think government works a little better when politicians have just a little bit of fear of the people they serve.
Play the recording or it didn’t happen,
Anyone can say they’re getting death threats. Demand that they prove it or shut up.
The Congressional Republicans actually suffered an armed assault by a crazed Hillary supporter.
Just ask Steve Scalise.
ORANGE MAN BAD !
BUahahahahahahahahahaha!
Its all these freaky radical leftist have.
NOne of them could even piss sraight if their lives depended on it.
( Bragg:” We are the victims,” meme is so ludicrous that I laugh at his foolishness....he violated the civil rights of President Trump in cooperation with Garland and Biden......thats unconstitutional and espionage.)
