The nine posts that the judge in Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s falsified business records case ordered Trump to take down on Tuesday have been deleted.
Judge Juan Merchan ruled on Tuesday morning ahead of the second week of the trial that Trump needed to pay $9,000, $1,000 for each gag order violation. An additional hearing on more alleged gag order violations will take place on Thursday.
The order reads that the defendant, Trump, "is hereby warned that the Court will not tolerate continued willful violations of its lawful orders and that if necessary and appropriate under the circumstances, it will impose an incarcertatory punishment, and is hereby ORDERED, that the Defendant pay $1,000 fine for each of the nine violations of this Court's lawful order by the close of business on Friday, May 3, 2024."
Trump was given a 2:15 pm deadline to remove the posts, seven of which were on his Truth Social account and two of which were on his campaign website.
So he should appeal for violation of freedom of speech.
I genuinely want something very bad to happen to this judge.
I wish that he didn’t buckle. This is never the right strategy when dealing with Nazis or Communists like Merchan and Bragg.
I hold Merchan in contempt https://t.co/sMPY9bhK3X— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) April 30, 2024
Clowns like this judge are destroying the judiciary https://t.co/FJq4wC5M7j— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) April 25, 2024
Legally it is irrelevant. Promise of jail is forced compliance.
This prosecution and the lenghts for a conviction reminds me of the illegality of Sen. Ted Stevens case where they were the FBI so hell bent on conviction that lies, withholding information and dirty tricks that even Eric holder had to throw out the case.
Stevens lost the election because of it and that may have been the outcome that was wanted by the political class at the time. He was too politically powerful and removing him was a big goal of the democrats.
ALL of this is a dominance game by the Spaniard Judge.
NO ONE is doing this to Biden, Mayorkas, Biden’s kid, Biden’s brother or Jack “Smith” and all the other players who will soon enough be under investigation for their organized attempt to imprison a President on false charges.
The Mexican, Oh, I’m sorry, Colombian wants to show the big gringo that he’s boss, and the WASP is just a puny nothing.
When did the Americans hand such power to an enemy alien?
Buckle he did.
DJT incarcerated would give us POTUS Kamalahaha or POTUS Icky Nikki.
No thank you.
He may have removed them for other reasons entirely.
Sometimes it is. Randy Weaver should have buckled.
What do you do when they out-gun you? When they control the courts, police, military, and intelligence communities?
PAYBACK IS A RELENTLESS BITCH
PAYBACK IS COMING
This fat bastard Bragg who routinely lets rapists, muggers, attempted murders with lengthy records back out on the street and Trump is threatened with jail for talking, and talking about a BS case.
Why aren't get prosecutors equally gagged? We all know why but "gag orders" exist to protect the rights of the accused, not as a green light for the prosecutors to pile on outside of the courtroom when Trump can't fight back.
he will appeal and follow the legal process as opposed to JoeyBoy who mocks and abuses it.
But I wanted to read those posts.
Likewise.
So the faithful ultra-MAGA extremists took screen shots and downloaded them, of course. Didn’t they?
