Donald Trump got some bad news.
One of his criminal trials took an awful turn.
And Donald Trump could end up in jail thanks to this piece of paper.
Special counsel Jack Smith took another step to further establish that his office and the Department of Justice are effectively operating as the campaign field team for Joe Biden’s re-election effort.
After Fox News and CNN published polls showing Trump leading Joe Biden, Smith’s office once again flexed the power of the weaponized justice system to interfere in the 2024 election.
Late on a Friday, Smith dropped the bombshell that his office requested for Obama Judge Tanya Chutkan to slap a gag order on Donald Trump to prevent him from speaking about the case in public for the duration of the trial.
Prosecutors claim Trump pointing out that a Democrat Department of Justice enlisted a Democrat prosecutor to try the GOP presidential frontrunner in front of a Democrat judge with an all-Democrat jury was spreading dangerous misinformation and conspiracy theories.
“In service of his criminal conspiracies, through false public statements, the defendant sought to erode public faith in the administration of the election and intimidate individuals who refuted his lies,” Smith’s filing argued.
Smith claimed Trump’s posts – and not the fact that a Democrat Department of Justice sought a rushed trial in the most Democrat jurisdiction in America – undermined confidence in the justice system.
“The defendant is now attempting to do the same thing in this criminal case — to undermine confidence in the criminal justice system and prejudice the jury pool through disparaging and inflammatory attacks on the citizens of this District, the Court, prosecutors, and prospective witnesses,” the filing added.
The filing requested that fellow Democrat Judge Chutkan issue a gag order preventing Trump from making any comments “regarding the identity, testimony, or credibility of prospective witnesses” and “statements about any party, witness, attorney, court personnel, or potential jurors that are disparaging and inflammatory, or intimidating.”
This order would effectively prevent Donald Trump from campaigning on the fact that Joe Biden weaponized the government to go after him and his supporters.
If Trump violates a gag order by criticizing Joe Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland, Mike Pence, Jack Smith or anyone involved in the case then Judge Chutkan could revoke Trump’s bail and send him to prison for the duration of the trial.
Trump noted the obvious attempt to interfere in the election by stopping Trump from campaigning against Joe Biden out of concern that the anti-Trump judge could look for any excuse to claim Trump is in violation of the gag order and send him to prison.
“Biden Prosecutor, Deranged Jack Smith, has asked the Court to limit 45th President, and leading Republican Nominee (by more than 50 points, & beating Dems!) DONALD J. TRUMP’S, PUBLIC STATEMENTS. So, I’m campaigning for President against an incompetent person who has WEAPONIZED the DOJ & FBI to go after his Political Opponent, & I am not allowed to COMMENT? They Leak, Lie, & Sue, & they won’t allow me to SPEAK? How else would I explain that Jack Smith is DERANGED, or Crooked Joe is INCOMPETENT?” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
