Unless national security is involved, yeah I’ve the same question.

Accused or not, the 1A doesn’t care or have a provision for a ‘gag’ order cuz the government wants you to be quiet. The judge is government and has limited authority just like the rest of government.

Could a judge issue a gag order to stop somebody from exposing government wrongdoings?? Where’s the line here.

As Steve Bannon pointed out this morning, Democrats put Trump on trial because they still haven’t gotten over the fact that Hillary lost fair and square. This case has zero to do with a business records dispute.

Hope Hicks was siphoned by the state, she has to show up. She isn't there because she sides with the defense.

“Siphoned”? I think you mean “subpoenaed”. And yes, she can be compelled to testify, but the court has no authority over what she says other than to compel her to tell the truth.

The tape played yesterday and discussed today, while good for my case, was cut off at the end, in the early stages of something very positive that I was in the midst of saying. Why was it cut off???

>>>Fox News just read this new Truth from President Trump.

Another egregious mistake, which will backfire, I pray🙏

I don’t remember seeing “national security” exceptions to the Constitution.

For the judge and the prosecutor, the case against Trump is that he stole the election from Hillary in 2016. It’s possible that all of the jurors voted for Hillary, so it may be easy to get them to find Trump guilty, no matter how flimsy the legal case is. Merchan and Bragg don’t care if the conviction is overturned on appeal and they get admonished because that may be a year or two after the election.

That may be the underlying intent but I fail to see anything about this trial that’s new. Seems to be a re-airing of dirty laundry and recycling of old news. They needed new material. A conviction here is likely to elicit a collective yawn, and nothing more.

Trump has been brilliant in shaping the overall narrative and exposing the trial as a political witch hunt. If polls are any indication, most people see it the same way.

This made me sad. I do know plenty of things but I had no idea of a Kangaroo’s lifespan. I was holding out slight hope that it could be close to a humans’. Sadly no. It’s only around six years. I would have loved to see the most famous Kangaroo ever, Skippy the Bush Kangaroo appear at this trial. I guess we’ll have to settle for just plain everyday Kangaroos.
