Just In: Judge Merchan REFUSES to Allow President Trump to Refute Stormy Daniels’ Incredulous Attacks – Maintains Illegal Gag Order
Gateway Pundit ^ | May 7, 2024 | Jim Hoft

Judge Juan Merchan has ordered President Trump to remain silent as the media and Democrats spin lie after lie against his record and character.

This is how free societies die. Just as shocking as the Democrat party’s lawlessness is the Republican party’s total avoidance to confront these vicious political acts. We all know this lawlessness cannot continue yet Republicans remain too weak to raise their voices with the rare exception the courageous few who are shunned by their own party elites.

On Thursday the media continued their toxic reports on Trump and porn star Stormy Daniels, a opportunist who owes President Trump around $500,000 for court costs that she refuses to pay – a crime in itself.

The Trump team requested Judge Juan Merchan lift the unconstitutional gag order on President Trump but Merchan refused.

The Trump team also requested the case be thrown out after Stormy Daniels’ seven hours of testimony.

Dana Perino at FOX News reported:

How could you vote when you live in a foreign country.

Also we know you would vote for Biden, since Putin endorsed him?

“He can defend himself in court.”

You’re saying he can be called to testify. Is that correct? Which is to say he’ll have his opportunity to speak his piece, correct?

No.

He can testify but can’t be called to testify.

The defense is handled by his lawyers on his behalf.

sounds very good
thanks

the longer and harder the commies mis-use the law to persecute Trump, and the more gross lies they spread about him, the stronger is his support among the American people, voters

Not invented by this Secret Police State Judge - the story was written more than 100 years ago and the communists just copy the plot. From Wiki:

The Trial (German: Der Process)[A] is a novel written by Franz Kafka in 1914 and 1915 and published posthumously on 26 April 1925. One of his best-known works, it tells the story of Josef K., a man arrested and prosecuted by a remote, inaccessible authority, with the nature of his crime revealed neither to him nor to the reader. Heavily influenced by Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov, Kafka even went so far as to call Dostoevsky a blood relative. Like Kafka’s two other novels, The Castle and Amerika, The Trial was never completed, although it does include a chapter which appears to bring the story to an intentionally abrupt ending.

I’m still stumped as to why trumps lawyers sat there like idiots without objecting. Even the judge was stunned. Trump’s lawyers are failing him.

So during a primary, you watch others pick the candidates for the general? I’d think if you cared about getting conservatives elected, you want to be able to vote in the primaries.

He can defend himself in court.

He has the right to defend himself outside of court.

He is barred from attacking witnesses, jurors or family members of court officials.

Trump hasn't "attacked anybody".

It’s a simple concept...

Amendment I is the simplest of concepts. That's why it's the FIRST Amendment.

“He can testify but can’t be called to testify.”

That means he can testify if he wants, correct? No one can prevent him, correct?

What’s the procedure for him to testify? Would his lawyers ask the court for permission for him to testify?

When the defense is done presenting their case, his lawyers just say we call Trump to the stand.

Most likely this will not happen.

It appears that Judge Juan Merchan has set law aside for his party agenda.

Trump is in the way for them to come after us after all.

Not in my state, and I won't be a uniparty member.
