Since this whole circus is taking place after Trump announced his running for president, a gag order would have to be put on the entire media as well as anyone connected to the Democrat party!

(Can Congress members be gagged?)🙄

If not, it would be a clear violation of the election interference law!

The democrats would be able to lie, and bad-mouth Trump and neither Trump or his team would be able to respond?

I don’t think so!

I am not an attorney either, I stayed in the same trashy hotel as my friend posting above did!😁

As everyone will be watching Trump tonight, I hope he makes a substantive critique and dismissal of the 34 felony charges. After listening to DA Brag, President Trump can wrap this up and put it to bed. This will be the first time lots of folks will hear him talk on the topic, especially now that the charges are publicly released, I hope makes his case.

Thanks for your reply. You make sense! A gag order would only magnify their underhanded doings for all to see.

The Dems are hoping Trump’s notorious big mouth will do their job for them.

Because the judge knows its unconstitutional and Trump would likely take Newt’s advice and ignore it.

“Theory! The realize that the leaks were illegal, and to protect the leakers, they agree to no gag order.”

The house oversight can still go after braggs office for the felony of leaking if they want can’t they?

Watching the cnn panel live from Steven Crowder via rumble was very telling. They were obviously crestfallen at the measly results so far.

I would hope so, but I am no lawyer. I hope someone who knows will weigh in on this.

I found this: Trump pleads not guilty to 34 charges; admonished by judge

Trump, stone-faced and silent as he entered and exited the Manhattan courtroom, said “not guilty” in a firm voice while facing a judge who warned him to refrain from rhetoric that could inflame or cause civil unrest.

Seriously, he "warned" him? Who decides what and which a presidential candidate and former President words are "inflaming"?

I'd like to hear the actual quote, but this sounds like the Judge thinks Trump needs to be put in his place. F him.

Everything a conservative says “inflames” the Left.

Everything is a microaggression.

Well, if that is the definition, and I think you’re right, then Trump will absolutely say things (as we all do here and agree with Don) the judge finds “inflamatory”, so then what?

Gag order ipso facto?

“Theory! The realize that the leaks were illegal, and to protect the leakers, they agree to no gag order.”

Would the house oversight committee still be able to pursue the felony of a leak anyway if they wanted to?

I watched the live panel on cnn over Steven Crowder’s feed via Rumble. It was very telling. They were obviously crestfallen at the measly results today.

He didn’t even request a gag order. So my spider sense is tingling. It would help him politically to tweet, but might turn the jury pool against him. This is NYC, and your potential jurors are already poisoned by relentless smears against him, and they might not like his mean tweets. Anyway, why’s he tweeting? I thought he’s stick to Truth Social.

There was speculation that one might be ordered, but it wasn’t even requested.

Silencing Trump would have opened the door to interference in a Federal Campaign. I think they (the DA and Judge) were advised to stay clear of that.

And it won’t matter, everyone knows what Trump thinks of them, and the Manhattan jury will vote to convict even before being selected.
