Call me when Trump is detained pending trial. Otherwise this means fuck all
It’s all a load of shit. Nothing of real consequence ever happens. It’s only ever going to happen
Oh shit, @[email protected] has been stopped mid-sentence and hit by one of Trump’s Seal 6 teams!
He’s getting started early on assassinating his political opponents it would seem.
Yeah. Didn’t he constantly mouth off after a previous gag order?
We’re guessing it will be how long before Trump violates this order?
“Will be?” I’m confident he did so immediately.
Why would he care? Legal consequences are for other people.
He’ll argue it down to, ‘don’t do it again’ with a virgous finger waving, assuming there’s media in the room, otherwise it’s just ‘sorry for intruding on your time, can we remove some charges while you’re here?’.
I’m disillusioned by the US justice system at the moment, one of the few times I pay attention as a foreigner, mostly to check if the tangerine tantrum is being held accountable for breaking the law like regular people go through M&Ms.
And get nothing but warnings in return…
They keep starting to hold him accountable, then backing down. All it’s doing is embolding him and his followers.
Yeah, it’s maddening. It would/will be great if it all caught up with him. Maybe once he loses the election it will all come crashing down (like is now happening for Giuliani).
It would/will be great if it all caught up with him.
It would be great if Taylor Swift dumped her Super Bowl champion boyfriend and went out with me instead.
But there’s no reason to think it will happen.
The people who are able to hold him accountable, don’t want to hold him accountable.
One true thing trump has said (there’s not many) is this is common. Maybe not to this scale, and definitely not as haphazardly. But every wealthy person with real estate does this, and lots of them donate to both parties. Not just that, with elected judges, they need campaign donations too.
Hell, the Clinton’s went to one of Trump’s weddings because of all his political donations.
Theres a lot of pressure to never hold a wealthy person accountable.
It’s like how cops never turn on other cops for anything except snitching. The wealthy don’t give a fuck about political parties, it’s them versus us. If we don’t even acknowledge that, it’ll never change
If you own property you are immediately considered to be more valuable than other people. That’s how the police look at people, that’s how the justice system looks at you, and that’s how the government looks at you.
You are not a productive part of society unless you own property/business.
You also cannot punch up. If your buisness is aimed at people below you, you’re fine. Don’t deprive anyone with more wealth from thier money, cuz that’s when the hammer is brought down.
Did it really take 8 years to make a case about something we all knew was true 8 years ago?
Given the rate things are going it’s going to be another 8 years until anything actually starts.
And he better not DARE break that Gag Order! After two or three thousand times he might get a SMALL fine!
Trump, seriously…. Dude- just go to jail.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The ruling comes on the heels of Justice Merchan’s setting an April 15 trial date, rejecting Mr. Trump’s latest effort to delay the proceeding.
There is one notable exception to the gag order: Mr. Trump is not prohibited from attacking Mr. Bragg, who has received numerous death threats in recent months.
Mr. Trump, for example, has taken aim at Michael D. Cohen, his onetime fixer and one of Mr. Bragg’s main witnesses, calling him a “liar” and a “rat.” And in a rambling and angry post on his social media site on Tuesday, Mr. Trump made an ominous reference to Mr. Cohen, claiming without explanation that his former fixer was “death.” He also referred to one of Mr. Bragg’s prosecutors in pejorative terms.
Mr. Trump, who called Justice Engoron a “nut job,” has also targeted the prosecutors in all his criminal cases, falsely accusing them of working in concert with President Biden.
The case stems from a hush-money payment that Mr. Cohen made — to a porn star looking to sell her story of a sexual encounter with Mr. Trump — during the 2016 campaign.
“This Court emphasizes that it hopes for and fully expects zealous advocacy from counsel as well as spirited contribution from witnesses and parties alike,” Justice Merchan wrote.

Smart move, Mr. Judge. Forewarned is Forearmed.
