Federal prosecutors have told a federal judge that if Donald Trump had bought a gun earlier this week during a campaign stop, he would be violating his release conditions as a criminal defendant and breaking the law, according to a Friday court filing.
A campaign spokesman for Trump had posted on social media that Trump bought a Glock in South Carolina on Monday, then removed the post and clarified to CNN the former president hadn’t purchased the firearm.
Prosecutors pointed to the moment, as well as the former president’s recent attacks on departing Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, in asking a federal judge to place more restrictions on Trump, particularly on what he can say, as he awaits trial in Washington, DC, on federal charges of 2020 election interference.
The difference between Al Capone and trump is that they have trump on much more serious charges.
They hit Al Capone with tax evasion because that was the best they got, and they needed to remove him.
If this were happening in a vacuum? I’d agree, it should be over looked. But trump getting another gag order? Is a fucking joke, and it’s not happening in a vacuum.
