Jack Smith Asks Judge Chutkan to Impose
Stricter Gag Order on Trump, Send Him
to Jail If He Talks About Witnesses

Original Article

Special Counsel Jack Smith asked Judge Tanya Chutkan to impose a strict federal gag order on Trump and send him to jail if he talks about any witnesses. In August Trump was hit with 4 counts in Jack Smith’s January 6 case up in DC: Conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights. Jack Smith is using the DC J6 case to gag Trump. The special counsel’s prosecutors accused Trump of attempting to “prejudice the jury pool through disparaging and inflammatory attacks on the citizens of this District, the Court, prosecutors, and prospective witnesses.”

"Goose/Gander same sauce" IF Trump cannot mention prosecutors, judges, staff or witnesses... Prosecutors, Judges, Staff, and Witnesses cannot be free to mention Trump. He IS innocent, under Law...right up until he is convicted, assertions of his Guilt and now even punishments prior to that are thereby violations of all precedent. He is entitled by Law to make a vigorous Defense, in and out of the Courtroom, that includes "Impeaching witnesses, prosecutors and procedures".

We need a very strong statute for jail term for prosecutors who politicize their office. Of course, the Dims would turn that into a weapon against their enemies. What we need are sane persons at all levels of power. That seems beyond reach now. The power mad self righteous have infiltrated everything.

If Donald Trump doesn't have enough sense of self-preservation to just stop talking about these cases, he WILL be sent to jail. These political judges are just goading him and begging him to defy their gag orders so they can- and WILL- send him to some hell-hole like Riker's Island or Fulton County Jail. It's infuriating that he is so stubborn and blinded by ego that he thinks he's bullet proof. No, Donald, you are not. These guys have all the power over you at the moment. Grow up and show some sense.

Re #3. currently the laws almost 100% protect prosecutors from ANYTHING that they may do "in their official capacity". It has to be extremely obviously a straight up crime for them to get anything done to them. "Merely" destroying someone's life on false premises doesn't get them anything, which is why they continue to do it.

In response to #5, a year ago I probably felt the same way but I have changed my mind. I thought what the Democrats did to Sarah Palin was unacceptable and the treatment of Donald Trump is unacceptable and inexcusable. The patience and perseverance he has shown in these last months makes me question your last statement. Grow up and show some sense? Your definitions or meanings are completely different than mine.

It's still a bit of a mystery as to how exactly newly-minted House Speaker Mike Johnson will handle the upcoming budget battles, but on Joe Biden's corruption, he's already making himself clear. While speaking to Fox News Digital, Johnson laid into the president's alleged corruption surrounding his family's influence-peddling operation, calling it an "ongoing cover-up" and directly accusing Biden of lying "repeatedly." Johnson said: We have an ongoing cover-up of the important facts as Joseph Biden is sitting in the Oval Office. We know that he stared right into the camera as the president and lied repeatedly—I mean, multiple times—

Thousands of pro-Palestine protestors have shut down part of the Brooklyn Bridge, after flooding the streets of New York alongside orthodox Jewish members. The 'Flood Brooklyn for Palestine' protest attracted thousands of protesters holding up signs reading 'Free Palestine' and 'Zionism is Terrorism'. Other placards read 'Biden is funding genocide' and 'occupation is a crime.' Amongst the protesters were members of the orthodox Jewish community who wore signs saying 'Judaism condemns the State of Israel' and 'the Zionists Ignite the Fire.'

He is in charge of prosecuting crimes from misdemeanor drug possession to murders. He also has the capacity to prosecute federal crimes, such as financial fraud and terrorism.

Thousands gathered in Istanbul on Saturday for what was touted as the “Great Palestine Meeting.” The event was a pro-Palestine rally aimed at condemning Israel’s recent military actions in Gaza, where Hamas headquarters are located. Hamas terrorists were responsible for a deadly attack that claimed the lives of 1,400 Jews in southern Israel. One must ask the question: What did people expect Israel to do in response? Not retaliate? When an entity like Hamas, designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union, and Israel, engages in violent acts aimed at killing civilians, it is not only Israel’s right but also its obligation to defend its citizens.

Kevin McCarthy's ouster revolved entirely around budgetary issues, including Ukrainian war funding. In his first floor speech as presumptive House Speaker, Mike Johnson outlined his priorities: The skyrocketing cost of living is unsustainable and Americans should not have to worry about how they're going to feed their family every week because they can't afford their groceries anymore. Everybody in this room should think about this. Here's the stats: prices have increased over 17% in the last two years. Credit card interest rates are at the highest level in nearly three decades, and mortgage rates are now at a peak we haven't seen since 2001.

Archaeologists believe they are one step closer to confirming the resting place of Noah's Ark. A team excavating a geological formation in Turkey has aged rock and soil samples they believe contain ruins of the vessel, which puts the site at the same time the Bible puts the Great Flood 5,000 years ago. The project began in 2021 and is ongoing, but the initial analysis determined samples to contain clayey and marine materials and seafood. According to the researchers, these results mean human activity was present on the boat-shaped mound between 5500 and 3000 BC.
