Good luck with this effort! That’s my thoughts.
Yes, DC Judge Tanya Chutkan can decree from her perch that President Donald Trump is not permitted to criticize his persecution, the court, the witnesses who will testify against him or the political prosecution that is targeting the leading 2024 presidential candidate, but executing that decree is another kettle of fish entirely.
It is one thing to decree your control over independent speech, it is another thing entirely to try and enforce that decree. Thankfully, and standing firm in his position, President Trump said in response he is “willing to go to jail, if that’s what it takes for our country to win and become a democracy again.”
(Washington DC) – […] Trump, who opted to campaign in Iowa rather than attend the hearing Monday, has also in recent weeks pointedly attacked several known witnesses in the case. He suggested that one of them, retired Gen. Mark Milley, would have warranted the death penalty in another era, and he repeatedly blasted another, former Attorney General Bill Barr.
Acknowledging Trump’s broad right to weigh in on public policy issues as he pursues a second term in the White House, Chutkan said nevertheless that Trump could not launch a “pretrial smear campaign” against those who might testify against him. She said she would consider “sanctions” if she observes any violations. She did not elaborate on those sanctions, although she said she planned to issue a written order with further details.
The pronouncement raises the prospect that Trump could face punishment — ranging from restrictions on his use of social media all the way up to potential pretrial incarceration — if he continues to mount public attacks on Smith and his team or witnesses likely to testify in his March trial.

Any restrictions against President Trump’s ability to defend himself from political prosecution can be appealed and let the Supreme Court of the United States go on record for or against the rights of the accused.

Milley and Barr should hang their heads in SHAME!
Gen Milley left $80 Billion worth of high-tech and state of the art weapons in Afghanistan including Apache Helicopters, Abrams Tanks, Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles, F-16 Fighters and C-130 Transports on top of thousands of night vision glasses, AR-15 Assault Rifles and M-60 Machine Guns. All these weapons were given to the worst Muslim Terrorists in the Middle East by Milley.
AG Bill BARR had 70 Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) from a dozen banks detailing $40 million in wire transfers to the Biden Crime Family from Russia, China and Ukraine for three years. The banks employ retired IRS Agents as analysts who prepare detailed Excel Schedules of the wire payments with exhibits and provide the financial evidence directly to the Treasury Department for investigation…yet BARR DID NOTHING EXCEPT PROTECT BIDEN!
How could either of these incompetent corrupt stooges testify in federal court against President Trump?
O and Valerie left that equipment there but they should all suffer the consequences of treason.
Respectfully, you had me at the first 5 words of your comment, Cal Joe.
Agreed!
👍🇺🇲
As always…you nail it down…this time made me chuckle…
I’d like to see those two as dangling participles.
Ca. Joe: Shame occurs when one has a conscience…. so….
Milley and Barr should hang. ( redundant) their heads in SHAME!
I would pay admission to see General Patton beatch slap Modern Milley in the review line.
Hang his head in shame? I could think of another way to rephrase it.
Or they should just hang.
@California Joe, Milley and Barr make the most drugged addled prostitutes in Oakland California look clean.
Not a fan of bagpipes Barr but… Treasury had the data for years. They buried it.
He knew about the Hunter laptop because the FBI had for a year before the 2020 election and I seriously doubt that Treasury kept the 70 SAR Reports from Barr.
Knowing about it’s existence is one thing. Looking at the evidence it contained is different thing.
Never forget the corruptocrats operate in information silos. Intentionally. To protect themselves & their fellow traitors.
They can always fall back to “we messed up & we’ll enhance our procedures & update training.”
Oh Come on! You’re the Attorney General of the United States and you have a former VP’s son with a laptop full of top secret classified documents, evidence of FARA violations acting as a foreign agent, bank records with millions of dollars in bribes, federal firearms crime, income tax evasion…and you don’t ask questions, dig deeper or have a trusted associate investigate what happened?
That’s deliberate ignorance on both the laptop and the SAR Reports!
Oh come on… “I personally have not seen the contents of the laptop & I personally received no SAR reports from the Treasury Dept.”
Deliberate ignorance? Yes of course. Ignorance is not a criminal offense.
I’m not arguing with you but deliberate ignorance is a crime.
Mary Surrat was hanged for conspiracy in the assassination of Lincoln. She knew what the boys were planning in her house and did nothing to alert authorities. That earned her a short drop and a sharp shock.
We don’t argue, we converse/debate like real grown ups.
Ignorance of the law is not an excuse for breaking a specific law.
Breaking any law is only a crime if you are a member of a group that’s disfavored by the gubmint. Certainly they do not disfavor themselves.
Ignorance is not a criminal offense.
He probably decided he didn’t want to “know” what he absolutely did know because then the country would for sure have Donald J. Trump as a two-term president. These Bush RINOs are just Democrats in elephant suits. Someone in the Uniparty has something on Barr so the DC insider just lied, lied, lied.
Yes, these people are traitors to the country, and they continue to be. No conscience, no patriotism, no loyalty to those and the Constitution they are supposed to defend and protect. They will pay. If not in this life, then the next.
If they do not pay for their treason and crimes in real time they will never be punished.
Because they do not have a conscience and know that nothing is going to happen to them.
Milley and Barr should hang
There, fixed it for you
You’re welcome
Damn…slow to respond to this one, wasn’t I?
Actually they both should HANGED- they both committed Treason. The biggest mystery to me is how Democrats can support this corrupt and incompetent Presidency..They yelled about Trump’s bragging. but we had peace, prosperity , NO Wars, NO ONE entered our contry without having first been FULLY vetted, our allies worked with us and our enemies fear ed us during his 4 years in office (and he was distracted by TWO phony impeachments) but look away at the Biden Family’s 50 years of criminality, Joe’s not being able to walk up steps without tripping, or his being unable to find his own way off a podium,..the world sees that we have no leader (and they were reckless enough to chose Cackling Kamla for VP – ‘she’s a black woman!” does NOT make up for her being an idiot who has never made a point in anything shes said in three years – just circular logic till you want to scream at her:: “Just STOP!”
Brought tears to my eyes. A true American hero. They can indict, convict, sentence him to jail while he still runs for office from jail, and if he gets elected President with 270 electoral votes, win the election, be sworn into office by the Chief Justice from his jail cell, pardon himself and then move right into the White House. Then let the retribution begin!
There has to be grounds for appeal with this.
RINO Chief Justice John Roberts has jurisdiction over the DC Federal Courts and the appellate process.
And he will do NOTHING! The reason: He is owned by Obama, lock, stock, and barrel. When Obama says jump, Roberts doesn’t ask how high, he just starts jumping and hoping that his master is pleased and won’t spill the beans on him.
Agreed
Of coarse there are. The only question is, can it be framed as a Constitutional issue justifying it being fastracked direct to SCOTUS, or will it have to go to Appeals Court first?
Hoping First Amendment which may make it a constitutional issue.
How in the world could anyone claim this is NOT a Constitutional issue over #1 in the Bill of Rights?!!
Stop looking for legal solutions within a totally corrupt system.
True, we are in many areas at the point of who is the biggest force saying “Because I said so.” But, after God, we the people are the biggest force whenever we choose to be. And we also have to make the point legally so we the people can be quite clear which judges are acting as tyrants.
Grounds for appeal are 1st, 5th and 6th amendments to the Constitution. Supreme Court decision in Gentile v State of Nevada.
This biased, radical judge will be overturned on appeal.
We are not a democracy…France is a democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic. The word democracy doesn’t even show up in our founding documents. NONE OF THEM.
We were a constitutional republic. Sadly, we couldn’t keep it.
I say this over and over and over again. Why is PDJT calling our country a democracy? I don’t get it!
I don’t care if he labels America a pastrami sandwich. I care that he is at the helm of this ship in 2024.
That would be one Delicious Pastrami !
Except in Federalist #10, by James Madison, who talks of its naturally chaotic nature, full of tumult.
This is a somewhat specious argument that misses the context of the myriad debates and internal correspondence in which our founding fathers participated and sweated over for months, even years before the Constitution was finally signed in its final edited form in 1787, after which the representatives took it to the colonies for ratification. The discussions and debates continued for many years as the great experiment was in its infancy and experiencing many challenges.
The USA is neither a democracy nor a republic – in their pure forms. The United States is a democratic republic, or, representative republic, or representative democratic republic, most specifically, a federal constitutional representative democracy.
That the Constitution document does not use the term “democracy” is true. But as anyone can verify by perusing the Federalist papers, The Blackstone, and other writings in that period, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Noah Webster, Justice James Wilson and Chief Justice John Marshall all used the word repeatedly and often referring to their preferred type of government – ours. Those scholars understood representative democracy – the American variety – to be democracy all the same.
Ugh, this again.
We are a republic formed via a democratic process. When people say “democracy” they are generically referring to that process. They are not speaking to the structure of the country itself. A republic can’t exist in a vacuum, there has to be a process to achieve it.
Amen !
How many Divisions does Chutkin have?
She can make it, lets see her try to ENFORCE it.
“Sanctions” for those unaware, CAN be applied by a Judge against one side, typically to try to “level the field” after one side has engaged in questionable behavior that the Judge feels has tilted the field, and its an alternative to declaring a mis-trial.
IF there was ANY chance of getting a fair trial with this Judge, it MIGHT “matter” but since there isn’t, there is no point in PDJT restricting his behavior.
In fact, the sanctions imposed for violating a gag order, later found to be UnConstitutional, may itself be grounds for a mistrial, or overturn on appeal.
PDJT is responding exactly appropriate, and I am glad to see it. The “Nuts!” responce.
She has the following divisions,
Pro hamas kids
Anitfa kids
BLM kids
College kids
and more.
So PDJT is now barred from defending himself publicly. Yet Jack Smith and his band of secret prosecutors are still free to leak allegations against Trump whenever they choose. Is this not prejudicial to the potential Democratic jury pool? Obviously, but since this is a show trial in the finest tradition of Joseph Goebbels, the show must go on without a hitch.
I’m quite sure that the appropriate response, while Trump and his lawyers take their case directly to the SCOTUS (a President’s “court of primary jurisdiction”), is to ignore it.
Let them try to throw him in jail. Go ahead. This is your chance to be the one who finally “Got Trump.” Are your pants wet yet? 🤡
And, let them try to publish a single press release or “leak” when a judge has said that the presumed-innocent accused “is not allowed” to aver his innocence in front of the public.
This attempt has occurred before, and was already struck down.
And, in those decisions, the accused was certainly not “The(!) President.”
It’s kinda like the LGBTQq … DEMANDING that we “like them” … “take pride in them” … and celebrate their “marriages”. Hell … they’re even FORCING our children to question their own sex. … oh! and also treat homosexuality as “normal”.
Do It!!!!!!!!!!!
The pronouncement raises the prospect that Trump could face punishment — ranging from restrictions on his use of social media all the way up to “potential pretrial incarceration”
Thankfully, Trump may ‘leak stuff’ to the NYT or WaPo, CNN etc.
I Love This Man!
Man, do I love Trump! We need a couple of hundred more just like him in Congress.
We need 535, specifically.
“…….and let the Supreme Court of the United States go on record for or against the rights of the accused.”
This is where we have needed to get for quite some time to find out whether or not tyrants can rule from their bench or their public office and whether we still have a constitution.
This supreme court will either fix us or finish us. I’m not willing speculate on our odds.
Considering the FISA court was allowed to violate citizens rights with impunity I don’t have much confidence in Robert’s Supreme Court to do the right thing.
I wonder if the “judge” can stop me from criticizing Jack Smith? Your robes don’t mean shot to me… Light it up folks
Why does he use the word “democracy” instead of “republic”?
I wonder too
That is so irrelevant.
I think he is throwing it back in their faces, since it’s their favorite word to use 🤣
MAGA 💕💯🇺🇸
Just goes to show, these slimebags do whatever they feel like.
Wow.
This is the hill to die on.
Imagine threatening legal sanctions against the most maligned president in history. Milley smeared him. Barr smeared him. I regularly hear the current WH occupant smear him and MAGA by the innuendo of us being too evil to say why we’re too evil. Heck, they even smeared President Trump with two impeachments based on nothing but lies and smears. His entire first term was a cacophony of smears 24/7 on Resist media. Become ungovernable they said and the media cheered them on.
Yet now their delicate sensitivities are miffed. It would be impossible for Trump to even begin to even up the smear score.
The other thing that cracks me up is their belief that if they gag Trump, MAGA would be silenced. Oh contraire.
If he does break the order they will just arrest him and throw him in jail until the trail. That is what they have wanted to do all along, lock him up.
Trial
“They have made their ruling. Now, let them try to enforce it.” – Jackson
Just real quick – have any progressives ever been guilty of a ‘political smear campaign’ against witnesses in any trial in mermory?
Surely not.
Until an appeal court decides, could P Trump just repost the comments of others on his Truth Social and/or stagnant X account?
Both of these social media platforms should break all records for incoming critical and condemnatory posts against this despicable biased judge. But also staying within the rules of both platforms and thereby not feeding the corrupt media with excessive pro Trump vitriol against the judge.
I’ve noticed President Trump has referenced “our democracy” a couple of times in the last few days.
He’s purposely STEALING their language from them!!!
If you don’t wanna be called corrupt, don’t do corrupt things.
Pretty much anything Trump says will be cause for “sanctions”. If the Democrats want to try and turn him into a political prisoner, I dare them to try that strategy.
The Actual President of the United States uses the word “Democracy” because he speaks Normal Guy American.
He may not have the terminology of the Founders and Framers, but he’s got something even better; their heart and soul.
And the Hand of Almighty God upon him. Hallelujah!
Psalm 89:
20 he is my servant David! I have anointed him with my holy oil. 21 I will steady him and make him strong. 22 His enemies shall not outwit him, nor shall the wicked overpower him. 23 I will beat down his adversaries before him and destroy those who hate him. 24 I will protect and bless him constantly and surround him with my love; he will be great because of me.
Yes and Amen, Lord Jesus, Mighty to Deliver!
Amen Gipper !
The Secret Service detail will have to go to jail along with President Trump
President Trump has already lost the majority of his Constitutional rights to a speedy and fair with an impartial jury of his peers and now ordering him to not criticize anything related to the trial or participants? Who determines what is truth and what is “criticism”? They are gagging him with weasel words. Everyone of these activist judges and prosecutors must be prosecuted themselves for their “criminal” judicial and prosecutorial case against Donald Trump . We need some folks to be made examples…
Lately it seems like the world is upside down.
Judge Chutkan seems to be doing her best to get Trump reelected.
Please, please try to jail him and he will become our first Black President!
In his speeches Trump should ask concise simple questions to the audience and allow the audience to chant back their responses. Let US do the talking for Trump against the Judge and the Prosecution.
Rally interactive audience participation via jumbotron and fill in the blank, i.e., rocky horror picture showesque. That way he doesn’t name names the audience does! What a fun rally, lots of humor! People are sick and tired of this dog and pony show run by wrap up smear interlopers. President Trump has a great sense of humor and the audience will respond in kind. When given lemons make lemonade.
President Trump should promise to get rid of clueless, politicians masking as judges and then he should bring up as examples the state judge and DA in NYC, this judge in DC and Smith.
Good luck for this two bit judge to argue that someone running for POTUS can not make these points.
Good luck trying to maintain that two bit judges have control over the Freedom of Speech of a candidate for POTUS. Heck, a previous POTUS.
Take that to the SCOTUS.
Division of Powers doesn’t get more clear than that….
I suggest that President Trump channel Andrew Jackson…albeit with a twist. Jackson famously said, “the court has ruled, let’s see if it can enforce it” and I think President Trump should basically state the same with the added “and I have 8o plus million people that will ensure that you can’t/won’t…not now, not ever”.
God bless our most wonderful President Trump! I stand with him no matter what they try. And praying constantly.
The deeper harder they play, the more weak they are. They can’t help but expose themselves.
OK that leaves him room to concentrate on telling us all the details of how disgustingly corrupt the COW,creepy JB etall,RomneyEtall,Pelosi,NauseaumEtall . Thank you for freeing President Trump so he can concentrate on what is really important and real ! MAGA
Just let them TRY to jail Trump!
Wouldn’t the Secret Service have to be by his side if he was incarcerated? How would that work? Seems totally unworkable.
Yes and the Secret Service would have the authority to take over the operation of the entire prison/jail.
Time to send this damn Marxist Foreign born Judge back to the third world 💩hole she came from!!!🤨
WAY past time!!!
This judge is about to get her teeth pulled by her superiors. There won’t be anything left.
Mark my words: a small group of lawyers who specialize in using the law as an instrument of war – generally against rich corporations and such – have now turned their claws against a sitting President and therefore Article 2 of the Constitution. Many “TDS-besotted” judges seeking their fifteen minutes of notoriety are foolishly playing along.
All of them have bitten off more than they can chew. The President is no ordinary citizen. The Constitution is not a handwritten piece of vellum. The SCOTUS has already ruled on these issues many times, always in favor of the President and the Presidency. And the Constitution: the Supreme Law of the Land.
I wouldn’t count on SCOTUS. Their Chief is a lying devious sophist named John Roberts.
What is this, the romper-room? You can’t even do that to kindergartner’s.
“pretrial smear campaign”
Why not? What’s the point of freedom of speech if all you can say is nice things about your lawless persecutors?
When Elon Musk said government has a monopoly on violence with no recourse (for its victims), normal people recoiled at the thought, but not people like Chutkan. People like her smiled broadly. They love abusing power.
It’s always interesting to see what people show you is in their tool bag
Desperate Chutkan ain’t got nuthin
This dumb judge has just handed the presidency to Trump.
If they put President Trump in jail then it would not be unusual when it is Obama and Biden’s turn.
President Trump is our standard for patriotism and right thinking. No one other than Washington, Lincoln or Reagan has stood in the gap like this man.
with the gag order in place, this is a perfect time for Trump to fully utilize AI to get his message out, after all the gag orders are on him.
I’m not splitting hairs here but I’d rather President Trump use the proper term for our system of governance. We are (were) a representative republic. NOT a democracy. Democracy is an unstable and temporary form of governance that allows the least qualified to have a say in governance.
Democrats using corrupt, politically motivated prosecutors and judges are preemptively interfering with the 2024 presidential election. This much is obvious.
Stay strong President Trump! Another picture of you standing tall in the lions’ den will push any American sitting on the fence to vote for you as they will know that our corrupt justice system can and will do the same thing to them.
This is a ROGUE CRIMINAL JUDGE who has VIOLATED her Code of Conduct so many times we’ve lost count. She should have RECUSED long ago for her BIAS and obvious HATRED of Trump which she has stated many times. REMOVE and DISBARR this animal.
Biden and Garland and Chutkin are attempting to OVERTHROW our elections and Constitution. The CRIMINAL judicial system has become a corrupt mess of ROGUE judges who DO NOT UPHOLD the Constitution. There must be laws to DISBARR and REMOVE them. America is on the brink of communism by the JUDICIARY!
Make that judge put up or shut up, I’d violate her gag order without a qualm. His case must be placed before a higher court where the deep state has no power.
They must feel an overwhelming amount of shame for what they are doing to Trump (and by extension the people
of this country) if they have to censors/silence him.
When lacking the courage to face it, We always mute (and sometimes
Degrade) the most unpleasant things about ourselves or what we have done.
The fact that the left appears zealous in their behavior should not take away from the universal and time worn scourge they currently represent. Darkness, or lack or unwillingness to see the truth of the way things are.
Control is a reaction to fear. Truth is great, but it scares the crap out of everybody at some point.
