“The parties in this case and their attorneys are prohibited from making or authorizing statements to the media or in public settings, including through social media, that pose a substantial likelihood of material prejudice to this case. Such statements include, but are not limited to, (a) statements regarding the identity, testimony, or credibility of prospective witnesses; and (b) disparaging and inflammatory or intimidating statements about any party, witness, attorney, court personnel, or potential jurors. The defendant is also prohibited from causing surrogates to make such statements on his behalf,” says the gag order from Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith’s team as proposed to DC federal Judge Tanya Chutkan last week in the post-2020 election coup attempt case against disgraced former President Trump, which she could rule on any minute.

For whatever reason it was not made public until Lawfare Senior Editor Roger Parloff was able to get it posted to the docket just now on Thursday, so props to him on that. It’s likely that the fat bastard’s team has a copy of it as in the last 24 hours he’s sent out at least two fundraising emails with subject lines like “…My LAST email to you” reading “If Joe Biden gets his way, this would be the last email I write to you… Crooked Joe is turning to the courts to try and impose a GAG ORDER against me and RESTRICT my right to speak out against his corrupt and tyrannical regime. We are watching our Republic die before our very eyes,” and other such histrionic bitching to his demented fans.

Of course Joe Biden isn’t a party to the case and Trump can continue saying whatever stupid bullshit he wants about him. The real fear is that he’ll be unable to stop himself from going off on Jack Smith, Tanya Chutkan, and others involved at some rally and end up violating the order.
