Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, just imposed a gag order on Donald Trump. He will not be allowed to comment about Special Counsel Jack Smith or his staff, court staff (not sure if that means her) and “potential witnesses” in the case.
How can you run a campaign gagged? They are desperate to stop this oncoming train.
Terrifying, republic-destroying attack on free elections, freedom of speech as judge prohibits leading GOP contender from talking about the corruption of his government opponents, or criticizing the government that seeks to imprison him for political differences. https://t.co/2usOORlhPr

Obama-appointed Judge issues gag order on President Trump
Just so we’re clear, Biden gets to weaponize the DOJ to falsely accuse his top political opponent of serious crimes, drain him of millions of dollars in legal
fees, pull him off the campaign trail, and potentially throw… pic.twitter.com/KLOeejJ1MZ— DC_Draino (@DC_Draino) October 16, 2023
Chutkan doesn’t hide her disdain for Trump’s attorneys. She constantly interrupts, points and raises her voice, and makes snarky comments intended to get a laugh at their expense.
As she decried Trump’s inflammatory” comments, she has lots of her own: https://t.co/qwN09OYTFa

I’ve been in the courtroom where electronics are not permitted.
Today is an historical day in political jurisprudence. An activist radical Democratic judge with open hostility to Trump and his lawyers prepared to ban the speech of a presidential candidate during an election. It is unfathomable this is happening in America but it is.
Jack Smith’s team will likely get a wide ranging gag order preventing Trump and others from using “disparaging” language against potential witnesses in this case, which includes dozens of people.
Judge Chutkan and DOJ arguing that Trump’s speech could either influence the jury pool (LOL), intimidate witnesses, provoke violence, or all of the above.
Chutkan is a sneering, preening activist on the bench. She often threw out laugh lines at Trump’s expense to which the courtroom gallery responded as she wanted.
There was a whole debate as to the appropriateness of Trump saying “Crooked Joe Biden.”
Jack Smith wants to not just silence Trump, he wants penalties for violations of the gag order including fines or home detention.
ADVERTISEMENTIf Chutkan approves most of DOJs gag order, it will apply to Trump, his lawyers, and his campaign associates.
This is mind blowing to see happen in real time. I’ve seen a lot of crazy things in this courthouse related to Trump and Jan 6, but this takes the cake.
More later.
