Gag order put on Trump by Judge in his fraud trial.

What the legal system wants to do is stop Trump from bullying those employed by the court by punblishing name and address knowing his braindead cult members know this is a dog whistle telling them to go harrass them and make their life miserable.
What the legal system wants to do is stop Trump from bullying potential witnesses making them fear for their safety if they testify.
It is a tactic used by the mafia.
Trump minions, like you, facilitate this horrific behavior.
It's impossible to facilitate behavior since democrats make it up after the fact.
 
Fuck that embarrassment of a judge... make him put a former president in jail for speaking freely.... that would start a war...
 
freedom of speech

This is NOT a free speech issue. It's about preventing P01135809 from using theatening language against member of the judiciary. He is NOT being prevented from talking the trial, he is ordered to making threatening speeches in public. NOT the same thing.
 
All the anti-free-speech Biden supporters are gleeful about this.

Biden supporters happy about paying high prices for groceries, gas and rent?

Good little followers Biden supporters are…. They get on their knees for BLM with a big smile . while fellow Americans starve

Not a free speech issue. P01135809 has the right to talk about his trial, he cannot make threats against judiciary.

You Trump cult members are living in an alternative world defined by Donald Trump. It is not the real world of our country. It is not the real world of the world. It is not God's world. It is Donald Trump's world. It is sad to see people so out of touch with reality.

Gag order put on Trump by Judge in

The judge overseeing a civil trial accusing former President Donald Trump and his company of fraud imposed a gag order Tuesday, after the former president posted a disparaging social media post about one of the judge’s clerks.
Trump listed her name, claimed that she is Senator Chuck Schumer's girlfriend, posted her phone, a link to her Instagram account, and demanded that his case be dismissed because of her.

This puts a target on the clerk by MAGA supporters. I hope the MAGA thus do not make her life miserable. If they do Trump will have a new defamation suit costing hi if he has any money left.

Here’s the latest on the gag order.

A judge imposed a limited gag order on former President Donald J. Trump on Monday, restricting Mr. Trump from making public statements attacking the witnesses, prosecutors or court staff involved in the federal criminal case in which he stands accused of conspiring to overturn the 2020 election.

Mr. Trump’s freedom of speech rights do not permit him “to launch a pre-trial smear campaign” against those people, said the judge, Tanya S. Chutkan. “No other defendant would be allowed to do so, and I’m not going to allow it in this case.”

But the order left Mr. Trump free as he pursues his presidential campaign to continue disparaging the Justice Department, President Biden — and even to assert that he believed his prosecution was politically motivated. She also apparently left Mr. Trump free to attack her.

Judge Chutkan also addressed a particularly thorny question involving former Vice President Mike Pence, who is both a witness and his rival for the 2024 Republican nomination. She said Mr. Trump could do so as long as it did not concern Mr. Pence’s role in the events at the heart of the case.

The judge did not immediately address how she will enforce her gag order. She merely said she would assess any consequences for Mr. Trump if and when he violates it.

Some serious stuff, and we all seen it coming -- denial aside.

Judge Chutkan imposed the gag order at the end of a two-hour hearing in Federal District Court in Washington, which was one of the most contentious public proceedings to have arisen so far in any of the criminal cases Mr. Trump is facing.

Gag orders limiting what trial participants can say outside of court are not uncommon. But Mr. Trump’s status as the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, and his decision to portray the gag order request as part of an effort by the Biden administration to stifle a political rival, made this request by prosecutors especially complex.

In issuing a nuanced, limited order, Judge Chutkan appeared to be trying to thread the needle on balancing Mr. Trump’s rights to political speech as a candidate for the country’s highest office and her own duties to protect the integrity of the case in front of her.

Mr. Trump and his legal team have sought to portray the election case as being about his First Amendment rights, and they are likely to vigorously challenge the order. There are two ways they could do so — either or both of which could happen.

Mr. Trump could appeal it now, arguing it is an unconstitutional prior restraint on his free speech rights in the abstract. In addition, if he later makes remarks that the judge decides crossed the line and imposes a punishment, he could appeal in the context of whether he had a right to say whatever statement was specifically at issue there.
  • At the hearing, Mr. Trump’s legal team and prosecutors in the office of the special counsel, Jack Smith, presented two starkly divergent visions of the election interference case. Mr. Trump’s lawyers sought to characterize the election interference prosecution as a political vendetta against Mr. Trump by Mr. Biden, his chief opponent.
  • Judge Chutkan said she saw the case like any other proceeding she has handled and Mr. Trump like any other criminal defendant. “Politics stops at this courtroom,” said the judge, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama.
  • Much of the hearing was given over to sparring between Judge Chutkan and John F. Lauro, a lawyer for Mr. Trump. Cutting Mr. Lauro off several times — and even laughing aloud at him once — Judge Chutkan staked out a position seeking to protect the witnesses and prosecutors in the case from being threatened or harassed, and to keep Mr. Trump’s bullying remarks from spiraling into violence.
  • Some of the former president’s more outrageous statements seem to have had real-world consequences. Here are the sorts of comments prosecutors hoped to block.
  • Mr. Trump was placed under a very limited gag order early this month by the New York State judge overseeing his civil trial in Manhattan, where he is accused of inflating the value of his properties. That order restricts Mr. Trump from speaking about any people who work on the judge’s staff. The order Judge Chutkan is considering could be significantly broader.
