DOJ Requests Protective Order After Trump Threat Online

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Got a video of the "incitement" on Jan 6? I didn't record the speech. I doubt that the judge will accept "March peacefully and patriotically to the Capitol" as incitement.

Plus: All politicians use the word "fight" to contest something. That doesn't imply that they mean "attack", "assault" or "brutalize'' someone.
But to the Liberal unwashed it seems to be their understanding. After all, they're just simple minded idiots.

‘Such protective orders are common in criminal cases, but prosecutors said it’s “particularly important in this case” because Trump has issued “public statements on social media regarding witnesses, judges, attorneys and others associated with legal matters pending against him.”

They pointed specifically to a post on Trump’s Truth Social platform from earlier Friday in which Trump wrote, in all capital letters, “If you go after me, I’m coming after you.”’ ibid

Clearly a criminal threat by Trump, consistent with Trump’s advocacy of lawlessness and violence.

Trump is a criminal, a protective order is perfectly appropriate to safeguard the judicial proceedings addressing the crimes Trump committed.

Oh absolutely.

Orange Man BAD!

He may not be, but his acolytes may take his comment as an order or request to harass the previous grand jury or future jurists.... in this day and age.

 

[Care4all]

Well, eek!

Whatever happened to the common sense saying that "sticks and stones shall break my bones, but words will never hurt me"?

Words will never hurt! But actions taken from those words can be hurtful and harmful.

 

[Care4all]

Y'all wanted to ARREST Ray Epps, for merely his words, or did you trumpers forget that....?

 

[Care4all]

They're frightened of a cyber spanking! lmao!

so Jack Smith has not been harassed and threatened and his wife and family have not already been threatened by Trumpers? Wow! So you think that is all a lie or is just normal?

 

[Care4all]

So, Crooked Donald is not WARNING witnesses he knows like Meadows etc, that if they testify against him, HE'S GOING AFTER THEM... is not a threat?

It may not reach that level of threat, but we ALL KNOW this is what Trump means and wants.... Just like Trump's Stand back and stand by comment to the Proud Boys.....

Oh, wah! Every word Trump sez is a fearsome AK-47 defending the Constitution.

tRump doesn't believe in our constitution. He even wanted to suspend it!

Trump has never read the Constitution. He said it was too hard like a foreign language. He also said he wanted to suspend the Constitution so he could overturn the election.

Breaking on MSNBC. No link yet. It has to do with Trump's threat: "If you go after me, I'm coming after you".
From the AP, Associated Press, late today:

"Prosecutors ask judge to issue protective order after Trump post appearing to promise revenge"
"The Justice Department on Friday asked a federal judge overseeing the criminal case against former President Donald Trump in Washington to step in after he released a post online that appeared to promise revenge on anyone who goes after him.

Prosecutors asked U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan to issue a protective order in the case a day after Trump pleaded not guilty to charges of trying to overturn the results of his 2020 election loss and block the peaceful transition of power. The order — which is different from a so-called “gag order” — would limit what sensitive information Trump and his legal team could share publicly about the case brought by special counsel Jack Smith.

Such protective orders are common in criminal cases, but prosecutors said it's “particularly important in this case” because Trump has issued “public statements on social media regarding witnesses, judges, attorneys and others associated with legal matters pending against him.”

They pointed specifically to a post on Trump's Truth Social platform from earlier Friday in which Trump wrote, in all capital letters, “If you go after me, I’m coming after you.”

Prosecutors said that if Trump were to begin posting about details from grand jury transcripts or other information handed over by the Justice Department, it could have have a “harmful chilling effect on witnesses or adversely affect the fair administration of justice in this case.”

DOJ cites Trump post in protective order ask.

Former President Donald Trump's apparent threat to "come after" those who "go after" him is "chilling," according to Stephanie Grisham, his former White House press secretary.

On Friday, just one day after Trump pleaded not guilty to January 6-related criminal charges at an arraignment hearing in Washington, D.C., the former president informed his followers on Truth Social that, "IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I'M COMING AFTER YOU!"

Multiple legal experts have suggested that the post could land Trump in hot water with the judge presiding over his case, including the possibility that he could be taken into custody over potentially having violated the conditions of his bond.

During the former president's arraignment in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya told Trump that it's a crime "to threaten or attempt to bribe a witness or any other person who may have information about your case, or to retaliate against anyone for providing information about your case to the prosecution." Trump responded that he understood.

Again, Democrats weaponize law enforcement to go after Trump but don't want Trump to weaponize law enforcement to go after them. Yet more proof of a two tiered justice system.

You try to issue a statement promising to go after the people who are coming after you right after being indicted, and have been specifically warned not to threaten jurors.

You will not be slapped with a protective order, you will likely be held in contempt of court.

Yes there's a 2-tiered system of justice. One for Trump and one for normal people. There's a reason the Trump campaign is trying to state he wasn't actually talking about Smith or the witnesses.

Democrats have been saying for six years they were going after Trump and have.

Oh really? After a federal judge warned them specifically not to do so?

This is the problem you but especially Trump has right about now. You are trying to use a (bogus) political not legal argument. But Trump very much is dealing in the legal realm now. In the legal realm threats are not protected speech. They carry legal consequences.
