In the case pertaining to January 6, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled this week in favor of the prosecution and imposed a gag order on the former president.
Trump can’t say anything that “publicly targets” the judge, special counsel Jack Smith, or “any of the other court workers” because of the gag order. The Washington Post reported that Trump is “absolutely banned as well” from making any public remarks about their families:
“Even before the gag order went into effect, Trump’s attorney John Lauro said they were going to appeal such an order, since it would impact key freedom of speech principles, especially for a top contender for president.”
The judge stated that although Trump “may argue how this indictment is politically motivated,” he is not permitted to “incite violence against public employees who are only carrying out their duties” or to denigrate the prosecutor by referring to him as a thug.
“She is additionally prohibiting Trump and everyone involved from making comments regarding witnesses in this case.”
On August 1, Smith charged Trump with four counts in the case.
Trump could go to jail for up to 55 years, and he could even actually be put to death because of one of the charges.
Smith wants the hearing to happen on January 2, 2024, which is less than two weeks prior to the Iowa caucuses as well as during an election year.
When asked about the judge’s ruling, the Trump team said in a statement:
“Today’s decision is a complete abomination and yet another politically motivated knife stuck in the very core of the American democracy by Crooked Joe Biden. He was given the power to silence his political rival, President Donald J. Trump, who is by far the most popular politician in the United States and the frontrunner for the presidential election in 2024. President Trump is determined to uphold our Constitution, the right of the American people to vote for him, and to free our nation from the shackles of targeted and weaponized police enforcement.”
I am really surprised not one honest judge can be found to end this witch hunt.
They don’t want an honest judge…they had to have the one who is sentencing people eating a sandwich near the capitol on Jan 6th to 16v years of jail time.
This judge has never heard of sticks and stones May break my bones but words can never harm me?
And what does the judge think The prosecution is doing every time they hold a press conference?
Absolutely agree. This is a terrible unlawful thing they are doing to President Trump, so afraid because they know he will win in 2024.. The American people are watching.
This foolishness must be stopped! It’s obvious to the American people what kind of dog and pony show is going on here! As a result of all I have witnessed I will never ever vote for another democrat! They only want power for their special agenda. They care nothing about the welfare of the American people!
Judges protect their own,,, They won’t throw their own under the bus IMHO.
Trump doesn’t need to say anything! THE PEOPLE ALREADY KNOW THIS IS A POLITICAL THING! If none of these judges or DA will NOT GO AFTER ANY DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS OR BIDEN! THEN IT ALL COMES OUT AS A WITCH HUNT AGAINST FREEDOM AND LIBERTY! Hey judge Don’t forget you are not untouchable either! What you have done is VIOLATION THE CONSTITUTION LAWS FOR FREE SPEECH! Just as Biden and democrats politicians are violation the law to protect America! First day of Biden was TYRANNY PRESIDENT AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING! NOT ONE LAWS ENFORCEMENT DID ANYTHING! The people will!
It’s time for us as Americans to start standing up and over throw the swamp
.
The Constitution actually gives the American citizens the right to to physically overturn the government that is going against the principles set for its forming fathers.
Problem is the American people and politicians don’t have the balls to go up against the bastards (Democrats)
Trumps the only one with balls enough to stand up to them but he didn’t get the support from the pussies (fellow Republicans) to back him up.
So true we need Trump back in the white house
We definitely need Trump back. All of the escalation would not have happened from Afghanistan to Israel now if Trump would have been our President , 2020 was stolen.
Debbie Foss we are Behind your statement 1 million %. We Need an secret articulated Plan to enact otherwise it’s just words. Meet first who,where,when what states?Do we Skype,Zoom etc.Details are vital Right Now. A Plan.Use http://www.protonmail.com Only.This is Gates,Soros etc Plan.
We MUST take every action available to us as individuals. Call your Congresspersons and Senators on a daily basis. Write” letters to the editor” weekly. Post your comments on social media and SHARE with all your contacts. Call “Talk Radio” and publicly state your concerns on the airways. Display lawn signs on your lawn, such as one I have that states “DEMOCRATIC CORRUPTION COSTS YOU MONEY”. Display TRUMP signs on your vehicles, homes and businesses. Do NOT be afraid to confront your liberal friends and let them know their policies are destroying our country. As a first step, SHARE MY POST! The dems organize, hold rallies, and blast their big mouths. We must confront them in the political arena!!!
That judge is the biggest joke.Did you see what a fool he look like when the camera hit them and he took his glasses off and smiled. POS
Vladimer Putin said in an interview yesterday, stated that the United States had no right to lecture the world on Democracy, while the United States holds political prosecution trials of their political opponent.

Vladimer Putin is right.
Except we are Not a democracy – We Are a Constitutional Republic.
If you don’t believe me, just recite the Pledge of Allegiance – “I Pledge Allegiance to the Flag, and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands…”
When Benjamin Franklin came out from the final meeting of drafting our Constitution with the rest of the Founding Fathers, a woman asked him what form of government they came up with; he replied, “A Republic, if you can keep it!” And it seems after 247 years, we are finally destroying it and losing it to the corrupt and evil swamp who lie and cheat and steal elections, and get filthy rich with their dirty, illegal deals.
The problem is, they no longer teach actual American History and Patriotism in schools anymore – they teach hate and division and lies, and convince young people that we are racist and evil. Until obama came along, racism was pretty much a thing of the past in America… but it was his goal to bring it back to life. America ended slavery and racism; we were the shining light – the beacon on the hill – for freedom and God-given rights; a strong Leader of the free world an example to every country of what a Judeo-Christian Nation should be.
As there does not seem to be any organization to bring the American people together, may I suggest we all VOTE FOR FREEDOM by electing Donald Trump. If he is illegally removed from the ticket remember YOU are the JUDGE of democracy and YOU can write in your choice for president.
All of Americans need to vote out all the RHINO”S who say they are for the constitution yet vote with the democrats on every bill that enriches the politicians. Too many politicians are there only to be part of “the ruling class” they think is the way to go, SO VOTE RESPONSIBLY NEXT ELECTION DAY!!
Did you see the interview with Morgan Freeman where he was asked how to get rid of racism? His answer “Quit talking about it”
what’s next a pooping order
for it’s about the same
you need gag orders against some of the democrats
for their language is not much better,
and the judge needs to re read freedom of speech, and stop being bias
Americans should also realize that there are American citizens being held without court hearing or any other authority to hold innocent Ameicans (remember “innocent until and unless proven guilty?” oh wait! that was when America was under the Constitution. Dems don’t care about the Constitution. The president, the DOJ, the FBI and MSM are Communist soldiers taking Trump to Calgary and crucifiction! Make a list of the perpetators and have it ready when sanity and Republicans regain the WH and Senate. God willing, Happy Days are coming back to the USA.
Republicans are running around like heads with their chickens cut off.
I ‘ve see America is going down to the swamp of the socialistic system…..
I don’t think trump has said anything that “publicly targets” “threatens” or “incites” any action by anyone against the judge, jury, staff or prosecutor. Its a violation of the 1st amendment and election interference. How about a gag order on the prosecutor and judge for leaking disinformation on social media? Who decides what constitutes any of this?
Chutkan is the one who needs to be in jail.
The judge should put a GAG ORDER on herself—- she is a dirty shameful human being. She can’t be fare and do her job right then she should step down. Why is it, just in three years these justice people have change to not being fare and honest in there work ?. Why does everything have to be politically motivated. Should be upfront and honest and fare and do your job in that order not who’s who in politics.
I hate what this world is coming to. Im getting old and want be around but our poor children and grandchildren will be stuck in a cruel and unforgiving world, with dishonest justice systems and just a world of hurt. I feel sorry for all the next-generations.
Absolutely agree. This is a terrible unlawful thing they are doing to President Trump, so afraid because they know he will win in 2024.. The American people are watching.
I wish our nation had a law enforcement organization like the long ago television show called “The Untouchables”! They were an enforcement organization that could not be bribed or swayed by anyone, they were just after the truth. It is sad that the FBI could be and was bought by the Democrats, they completely ignored the evidence of the Biden family’s corruption that was spelled out on Hunter’s computer of the corrupt deals that Hunter and “The Big Guy”, Joe Biden pulled off in Ukraine. If Trump or his family did anything like that they would be in prison in the blink of an eye!
FTG! IT’S TIME TO TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY. IT’S TIME FOR “THE BLOOD”
of TYRANTS. AMERICANS ARE WILLING TO FIGHT, OR DIE TRYING!!!
LOAD UP!
VIETNAM VETS FOR JUSTICE
The more these unethical judges and da’s do this, the more we, the people, realize we need Donald Trump back in the White House. He doesn’t have to say anything. Their actions speak louder than words and should instill fear in the hearts of every American.
She should be aftaid! She isn’t as dumb as she looks! If she is that stupid to preside over a witch hunt and NOT do her job by standing up saying these are fake charges and won’t proceed than she can go down the tubes with her career with the rest of them. C.u.n.t.kan and the rest of the corrupt, judges,DA’s, Soros who funds this BS, and this administration need to all be on trial and put them all in prison for life or face capital punishment accordingly! You DO NOT COMMIT CRIMES AND ILLEGAL ACTIVITY by hiding behind the law with gutter trash organizations like the FBI and DOJ begind it. Trump and DeSantis need to close these organizations for good and do a complete enema of the entire legal field and this country!
That shrill and politically-codependent judge is in need of a diagnostic blood test. Her lithium levels are running dangerously low.
Only time a person is scared is when they are guilty, right judge? Right now there are a lot of people especially in our government that is plain terrified of President Trump. The list just gets bigger when DOJ threatens people to lie about President Trump or else. Just remember every time swamp and anti-Trump haters opens their mouths it’s not only a lie but also something they have done not President Trump. Corruption runs so deep in the hole it actually reaches China. Time to plug that hole and start packing it with those who deserve to be packed in it. Make sure punishment fits the crime and make new rules and laws. Even you rhinos won’t go unpunished. Anyone who aided and abetted the corruption should be held accountable. Those who stabbed President Trump in the back can go down with the rest of the swamp. Thanks to the swamp a lot more people have woken up and seen for themselves all the corruption going on. We need our country back with those who love it and understand when you take an oath to our constitution you will uphold what it says and means. Those who believe in law and order and equal justice for all. Put real men and women back into our military. Make some laws bigger and better to detour anyone from breaking them. We can only have a correct path forward with President Trump.
