>“Hopefully we’ll have more and more senators and congressmen go up every day to represent him and be able to go out and overcome this gag order, and that’s one of the reasons we went—is to be able to speak our piece for President Trump,” the senator said
Our piece? Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?
The Party of Law and Order desperate to find new ways to ignore and avoid lawful gag orders.
Ah, so we’ve moved on to witness/juror intimidation by proxy.
Totally cool and normal.
Witness intimidation, defamation, spreading conspiracy theories, lying about the law, whatever it takes.
Oh, absolutely.
We need to put the lives and reputations of these professionals, witnesses and jurors in as much danger as possible. That’s what “Conservative” means now, apparently. /s
Said it yesterday and I’ll say it again after reading this. This is another level of UNREAL. I can’t believe what I’m witnessing here. To their credit, they’re not sugarcoating it and outlining exactly what it is they did there yesterday. And based on this statement, they should all be charged and reprimanded accordingly.
Damn is this guy dumb as hell.
Is directing another party to speak on your behalf regarding a gagged topic a violation of a gag order?
These clowns holding a torch for Trump are the worst bunch of pathetic desperate opportunist shit bags this country has ever seen .
According to this person, Trump using surrogates to get around the gag order is actually breaking the gag order:
In a post on X, Joyce Alene Vance, who served as the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Alabama, noted that the gag order against Trump prohibits him from “making comments about jurors/witnesses and also from causing others to make them.”
Her post was in response to Trump’s remarks this morning outside of the courtroom, in which he referred to Republican lawmakers who accompanied him to court today as his “surrogates.”
“I do have a lot of surrogates and they are speaking very beautifully. They come from all over … and they think this is the biggest scam they’ve ever seen,” Trump said.

>“Well that’s good. You know, **if he can’t speak on the sham this trial is, they can’t put you under a gag order**—not yet, the way things are going,” he said.
This is insane. Trump literally speaks about what a sham he thinks the trial is all day everyday, in front of cameras, on his social media account, at rallies. His *lawyers* are the ones representing him, and he could go on the stand to officially speak for himself if he must. I hate how crazy these assholes are making me and how dumb they think we are.
I don’t see how orchestrating a bunch of surrogates dressed up like Trump to spew a bunch of nonsense a gag order was established to stop isn’t contempt of court.
TRANSLATION: He spoke at Trump’s trial to circumvent a lawful gag order, and intimidate the court by proxy.
This behavior is why I have completely tuned out the conservative ideology. At this point you can’t tell me they stand for anything other than whatever current narrative they’re on.
I’ve never seen so many useless mouthpieces in one place, and I’m a brass player.
Speaking of gagging🤮tuberville is a traitor to the US Military.
The Trump team is doing this in an attempt to delay the case and turn the narrative away from what Cohen is saying.
Trump doesn’t want his followers to have to listen all day Monday to what Cohen said on the stand.
So isn’t this collusion to circumvent a court order. Making both Tuberville and Trump liable for contempt of court?
How is this not a blatant admission that the RICO that is the GOP is conspiring to obstruct justtice?
Big brain to admit he was there to speak for Trump, thus violating the gag order 😂
They are entering the courtroom with the expressed purpose of intimidating witnesses and jurors. This should be treated as if they were caught (or, in this case, admitted to) bringing in a weapon to brandish and threaten with.
Seems like violating the gag order with extra steps.
Well thats certainly an explicit admission
So the only possible way Trump could get in trouble for other people criticizing the judge, jury, etc is if somehow physical evidence is found indicating he played a role in it.
Or, one of them could confess to it on live TV, while Trump also says they are making good points (which I think violates the gag order, much like retweeting stuff also did).
The ONE thing they had to do was not to have both sides confess, and they couldn’t even manage to pull that off.
edit:Also, not editing the critical comments in public, at the place with the largest gathering of reporters in the US, would have helped him pretend he has nothing to do with them being there.
Sitting US Senator intimidating witnesses.
The GQP ladies and gentlemen.
Thanks for openly admitting it, *Coach.*
Fucking dimwitted moron shithead.
They just want to be able to freely threaten judges children 🤷♂️ 🤦♂️
irony is thick here… in a trial where he is in trouble for paying someone else todo something illegal for him he is using someone else to bypass the gag order and do something illegal for him.
That’s not less illegal. You can’t say on TV, “I’m part of a conspiracy to do a crime” and expect to get out of.
Like the only play I can see here is “let’s get a lot of us thrown in jail so we can claim they (democrats) are jailing their political opponents”
But their method of going to jail is just… doing crime.
>Hopefully we’ll have more and more senators and congressmen go up every day to represent him and be able to go out and overcome this gag order, and that’s one of the reasons we went
It’s really incredible. Just when you think he’s said the dumbest, most bone-headed statement imaginable, he goes and tops that just days later.
IANAL, but if you’re barred from doing something and then ask someone to do it on your behalf doesn’t that make it a crime? Buying alcohol, or a gun, or violating a gag order?
EDIT: Of course some bot sent me a “reddit cares” message immediately (like within a second) of posting.
The judge has no other choice. He finally needs to throw Trump’s orange ass in jail for contempt.
At this point, Trump and his allies are making a mockery of the court’s authority and power.
This man is alarmingly stupid.
Trump felt lonely and demanded Gop presence. What a fucking crybaby. Tuberville is a puppet.
Tuberville? The football coach? He should put his nose into a law book and not the football playbook.
Texas, miss, Ala, and Fla all feel like since they’re geographically at the bottom, their education and standard of living scores should be there too.
Did this dumb mother fucker really just admit that their strategy is DJT using the Shaggy defense???
If you want an example of how broken America is, then watch these assholes stroll around free after admitting to their crimes.
Hell, Trump is on trial for the same crime his lawyer committed eight years ago.
Fucking charge him.
