CNN reported:
Judge Juan Merchan said he signed the order to show cause regarding four new violations of a gag order for former President Donald Trump.
He signed the order to show cause from the district attorney for the first 10 violations, too.
This means he will hear the additional four violations they have now added. He hasn’t made a decision yet or held Trump in contempt.
Trump blasted the judge this week as the ‘hush money’ trial played out in a Manhattan court.
“The Gag Order imposed on me, a political candidate running for the highest office in the land, is totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL! Nothing like this has ever happened before. The Conflicted Judge’s friends and party members can say whatever they want about me, but I am not allowed to respond. The Trial is Rigged and should never have been allowed to take place on a charge that virtually every legal scholar and expert say is bogus, THERE IS NO CRIME. This is a Political Witch Hunt – ELECTION INTERFERENCE!” Trump said on Truth Social.
I thought gag orders usually included all parties to an action…
The judge knows this entire case is a total waste of time so he’s trying to find something else to throw Trump in jail for since he knows this bogus “Case” is going no where. the Biden white house told him to throw Trump in jail by any means necessary
Merch certainly loves the limelight, doesn’t he?
i am betting house arrest
Trump is still having too much success campaigning
and in NY!
cant have that
These people have no self awareness, their lefty friends pat them on the back and they go on being imbeciles.
The judge...
“During the 2020 United States presidential election, Merchan donated $15 to Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden’s campaign, $10 to the Progressive Turnout Project, and $10 to Stop Republicans, a subsidiary of the previous.[6]”
“Merchan officiated at the wedding of his daughter, Loren, in 2022.[23] She heads a digital marketing agency which works with Democratic Party candidates and non-profits.[23][24][25]”
On this basis alone he should be removed from this travesty of a trial.
Which opens up an emergency appeal.
Trump should have them find that NYC construction worker and ask if he has any messages for Judge Merchan.
So how do you keep judges who receive a lifetime appointment from becoming political prosecutors? According to John Roberts, Supreme Court Judges are apolitical. I suppose by extension that also applies to Federal Appointed Judges ... Bwhahahahahahaha
If they jail Trump we should storm the Bastille and bust him out. It has to start somewhere.
These people have nothing better to do?
Why isn’t his cracker-jack legal team appealling the gag order, and the order that Trump must attend the trial?
The judge who weaponizes the law ahs forfeited his right to life, liberty and happiness.
The Appeals Court needs to gag Merchan.
How dare Trump defend himself!
Chris Plante (WMAL) suggested Trump get a Trump-impersonator to get in front of the camera to say everything real-Trump would get in trouble for.
Whatever they do to Trump will be done to them, times ten.
He has the right to speak. Everyone else attached to the case can speak except the accused. That means all news is anti-Trump....again and again and day after day.
He should’ve gone for 40 more gag orders.
I believe in go big or go home.
He won’t be able to sleep with himself when this preposterous farce has concluded leaving equity like that on the table.
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

And Trump keeps giving them all the rope they need. lol
