A day after having made her verbal ruling on the matter, DC Circuit Court Judge Tanya Chutkan on Tuesday formally entered her gag order against disgraced former President Trump prohibiting the fat bastard from making any statements about herself, her staff, Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith and his staff, and any potential witnesses (except GOP primary “rival” Mike Pence) in the federal criminal conspiracy case against him over his failed post-2020 election coup attempt.
“In order to safeguard the integrity of these proceedings, it is necessary to impose certain restrictions on public statements by interested parties. Undisputed testimony cited by the government demonstrates that when Defendant has publicly attacked individuals, including on matters related to this case, those individuals are consequently threatened and harassed. Since his indictment, and even after the government filed the instant motion, Defendant has continued to make similar statements attacking individuals involved in the judicial process, including potential witnesses, prosecutors, and court staff. Defendant has made those statements to national audiences using language communicating not merely that he believes the process to be illegitimate, but also that particular individuals involved in it are liars, or ‘thugs,’ or deserve death.”
“The court finds that such statements pose a significant and immediate risk that (1) witnesses will be intimidated or otherwise unduly influenced by the prospect of being themselves targeted for harassment or threats; and (2) attorneys, public servants, and other court staff will themselves become targets for threats and harassment. And that risk is largely irreversible in the age of the Internet; once an individual is publicly targeted, even revoking the offending statement may not abate the subsequent threats, harassment, or other intimidating effects during the pretrial as well as trial stages of this case,” Chutkan wrote in the order punishing the fat fuck for his misbehavior.
