On Friday, special counsel Jack Smith asked the judge to issue a gag order on Donald Trump in his classified documents case. Taking a page out of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s playbook, Smith thought he could successfully prevent Trump from being able to freely express his opinions about the case.
Unlike Bragg, who has a Biden donor as a judge, Smith had to convince Judge Aileen Cannon, a fair-minded, Trump-nominated judge, to buy into his argument that Trump should be silenced.
Cannon refused, calling Smith’s demand for a gag order “wholly lacking in substance and professional courtesy.” […]
It gets better. Cannon didn’t just refuse to silence Trump the way Judge Juan Merchan has in New York, but she also warned Smith that she’s not going tolerate future ridiculousness from him.
Good.
Related: The probability that the last three Trump-related cases in New York would randomly be assigned to the same judge is one in 15,625.
The law is being trimmed to fit the man. Much of America is now institutionally rotted to the core: millions of citizens seem to have internalised that but reckon that, if they just keep their heads down, maybe it’ll be the guy three doors down who catches the state’s eye. You’ll understand that, after twelve years in the DC Superior Court, I’m less sanguine about that.
Still, if there is a “verdict” by 3pm Eastern, we shall certainly discuss it.
Anyone who cannot see the set up against Trump is too stupid to vote.
they see it the celebrate and gloat, they dont see the pattern called ‘by then there was no one to object’
leftistitis. a medical condition turns the victim into a leftist voting zombie conditioned to bleat the narrative toe the party line stay in synch. ‘solidarity foreeever la la la’
As Mark Steyn also posted … what are the odds that a man lives a full life, a complex life, involved in literally tens of thousands of business transactions and never having ever been charged with any crime ever in those 75 years … is suddenly charged with multiple crimes in multiple states … and even has the FBI raid his personal residence?
Coincidence?
Historically, legal gag orders were almost exclusively against the prosecution/government side, to prevent them from tainting the jury pool.
As others have said for centuries, when you gag someone it means you’re afraid of what they have to say.
This is an amazing show of how corrupt the cesspool is in the lawfare system in the US.
The show-trial of the monied OJ Simpson was the opening of the can of putrified rot of lawfare, showing that a trial can be bought, regardless of innocence or guilt.
Lawfare has morphed into a hideous monster, worthy of Tolken imagination. Judges are bribed or extort king’s ransoms to produce results which are wrought in the bowels of secrecy and darkness.
DeNero’s presser yesterday revealed that the people are done with being herded and ridiculed by activists who follow scripts of lies and deceptive tales.
The Truth will be revealed and the liars will be exposed and brought to justice. I have a dream.

How can the Bar Society tolerate the bastardization of its legal industry? It can’t be good for business in the long run.
The Bar is the issue. Headquartered in London City, the enclave of power and evil where QE2 had to ask permission to enter.
The Bar is controlling the traffic in these trials. When was the last time you read a ruling by the lawfare Benches where we stood up and cheered at the Elites had the law applied to them equally?
nex, or is that rex
You know what civil war is????
Yes, it’s the politest form of war. The navy shouts, “All hands on decorum!”

FILTHY LIBERALS are winning..the real reset won’t be televised
Translation: of Nexus … I don’t like Trump’s politics or personality. Hence … Trump should go to jail and die! Behold the depth of Leftist depravity. Behold the pathology of terminal TDS

Too late…I already saw DeNiro’s rant yesterday: “If Trump returns to the White House, you can kiss these freedoms goodbye that we all take for granted. And elections – forget about it. That’s over. That’s done. If he gets in, I can tell you right now, he will never leave.”
Wow. Terminal TDS, right there.
“You clowns are cowards. You won’t do anything. You are all old and fat and limp.”
And yet we are the ones who own most of the guns. Keep that in mind, sweetie, before you go sneering at any potential uprising…
You’d like that….wouldn’t you, BIG BOY.
Lila’s generation … obsessed with sex. It’s the center of their puny little lives. Oh well …
Psst … I have NO problem getting it up. But not for some nasty, fat, obscene Trans creature. No, then I go limp as a noodle in boiling water … I shrink up into a stack of dimes, like after a swim in Lake Tahoe.
Old and fat, obviously. But limp? I’m often accused of rigid dogmatism, and take stiff criticism for it! And I’m reliably informed that these others are all erectionists!
Removing the lightning rod will not get rid of the lightning.
“Trumps going to jail.
He will die there ”

Hung jury coming up.
Some Soviet secret police wackjob one said “Show me the man and I will show you the crime.” Well in today’s US legal system, you don’t even have to show the crime to the jury.
