Trump ramps up attacks on judge in hush money case following gag order
Trump ramps up attacks on judge in hush money case following gag order
The former president slammed the judge and the judge's daughter on social media less than 24 hours after he was hit with a partial gag order.
Trump's criticism often comes at a cost for his targets. Merchan, Engoron and the judge presiding over his federal election interference case in Washington, D.C., Tanya Chutkan, have all recieved threats following Trump's complaints.
[…]
While he didn't initially issue an order at the start of the case, the judge said he was acting now “given the nature and impact of the statements made against this Court and a family member” as well as district attorneys and witnesses, adding that “given that the eve of trial is upon us, it is without question that the imminency of the risk of harm is now paramount.”
[…]
"Indeed, his statements were threatening, inflammatory" and "denigrating," and the "consequences of those statements included not only fear on the part of the individual targeted, but also the assignment of increased security resources to investigate threats and protect the individuals and family members thereof," the judge wrote.
That this is being reported on and treated as somewhat rational is the slow march into fascism that will destroy us.
How could the Germans let Hitler take power ?!
Just like that, apathy and propaganda.
Like Tolkien said, evil triumphs when good men do nothing.
Modernised: Evil Trumps when good men do nothing.
Germany at least gave Hitler a brief time out in luxury prison after his putsch, we cannot even do that much.
It's NBC news, the same org that tried to hire and retain the former RNC fucking chair as a political commentator.
Fuck NBC.
So, when is Trump going to get a finger wagging? Actually, when should Trump be expecting an apology from the judge and his daughter?
Trump better be careful! If his words cause the Judge or his Daughter to get murdered he might get a STERN talking to!
Oh nooooooooo trump may have to pay another twenty cents! Just for creating the environment by which like-hinged persons can attack the judge and family. soooo unfaaaairrrrrrrr

Gag me harder, judge daddy.
I can't figure out whether some of his public statements regarding cases are legitimately because he's just being an idiot and disregarding his lawyers or because he's got some kind of calculated position that it's a good idea to work an image of victimization for his political campaign.
Both.
The calculations are by a guy who can't do basic math.
I imagine their conversations go something like this:
So I have to ask:
What did he say about the judges daughter?
Certainly not that he would bang the judges daughter. He likes to keep the idea of banging daughters to his own family.
The judge's daughter is involved in politics and has worked for Kamala Harris and Adam Schiff's campaigns. So, of course, he thinks that makes her dad irrecovably biased.
Apparently she quit Twitter and closed her account. It got hacked and reactivated and now there are photos of Trump behind bars. It’s all staged so that he can screech about how biased everything is against him.
JokerDon Poorleone planned to be caught. He wanted me to lock him up in theMCUNYSDOCCS!Don Poorleone
Lmao
It's a good thing that I am not a judge. Threaten my family and your ass would be in jail until the threat is gone, or I am.

more of a gag suggestion.
The judge should have seen this coming. I am not impressed.
Rules that would poison the right to a fair trial, or stifle free speech would give Trump a reason to appeal, and win that appeal. The judges have their hands tied. I am sure that each judge and prosecutor saw it coming, but acted anyway.
Judge Aileen Cannon sits in stark exception.
When judges have to knowingly allow attacks on their family in order to eliminate grounds for appeal, that’s just another indication of how fucked up our legal system is.
