Just a reminder we’re all going to celebrate, take a week off work, and play drinking games when DJT inevitably dies in a cold dark cellblock.
Ok Real Talk ™
If I did one single thing out of his list of dozens of things I’d be under the jail. What the actual heck? Is it like everyone waiting to indite? Is he going to be randomly extradited around the country for a while when he gets put in all the jails?
The real message would be for jurors to put their phones away and take no messages or calls from people they do not know.
From the article: “Among other measures Smith’s team is proposing: barring any direct contact between the attorneys and potential jurors — including “friending” or following their social media accounts. Open source research would be permitted so long as it doesn’t become “vexatious or harassing.” Any identifying information from this research, prosecutors say, should be barred from public disclosure.”
> Notably, Chutkan is weighing Smith’s motion for a broader gag order in the Washington, D.C. case. Smith wants an order barring Trump from attacking or intimidating any potential witnesses in the federal trial, set to begin March 4. Chutkan has set a hearing on the gag order request for Oct. 16.
I don’t really understand why a gag order is needed. It’s already illegal to intimidate witnesses in a federal trial.
Looks like Coach Beard
I wonder if Trump could send “campaign flyers” to potential jurors about how they should vote for him because of the unfair indictiments to poison the jury pool.
At this point the guy needs a Hannibal Lecter style suit and an air gapped cage.
So regular people doing their civic duty need protecting from a former president. Hellva country to live in.

Is…this not just *regular* illegal? Like a judge needs to come up with a special rule for a lawyer to not be allowed to jury tamper like this?

Trying for a mistrial, are we?
