The former president was found guilty last week of falsifying business records.
“Please lift the gag order so I can continue being an asshole online and intimidating/threatening jurors an’ witnesses an’ you, judge, 'cuz I’m a weak, insecure man and need to rile up my base to kill you.”
Trump’s arguments, paraphrased.
“He dindu nuffin’.”
– MAGA
Dindu. Love it.
The defendant has indicated his desire to appeal, so the order should remain in place to protect the integrity of the case going forward.
Normally, I’m all for lifting gag-orders after cases are closed out. But with this one, the guy who is one of the most powerful men in the world (at times) and who commands one of the most easily swayed violent gangs in the world (not the most violent, just easily swayed towards violence) while also having absolutely no hesitation in commanding them to violence has already shown he is EAGER to have that gag order lifted… I can’t imagine why.
Yes, please, pretty please, with a cherry on top, lift my gag order so I can lay out “wishes” that should happen to the mean unfair people that got me convicted.
But then when something happens I get to loudly say “I don’t believe my people did this!”
