Trump already violated the Magistrate's order

[bigtree]

Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney 30m
Donald Trump swore in court yesterday he would not attempt to influence or intimidate witnesses, retaliate against anyone, or in any other way attempt to obstruct the administration of justice.

“Are you prepared to comply?” the magistrate judge asked.

“Yes,” Trump replied.

Free speech is one thing, but this is over the line. As a prosecutor, I'd be sorely tempted to make a motion to revoke Trump's pre-trial bond & put him in custody. Let him explain it to the judge.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

1. Ambiguity is certainly a talent he has. And with no hate speech laws, can't even be

sent to court to interpret.

[Happy Hoosier]

91. This is up to the judge

Laws don’t have to be broken for a judge to determine their order was violated. Trump is clearly threatening retaliation in violation of the order. He was threatening both the prosecutors and potential witnesses.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

2. I am sure Jack Smith has already talked with the Judge.

About this threat.

Now we wait.

[onenote]

34. Pretty sure Jack Smith knows not to have ex parte conversations with the judge.

If Smith has something to say about Trump's tweet, he'll put it writing and file it with the court.

[Deuxcents]

3. Does someone have to get hurt or worse

Before he is held accountable for threatening people? This is not free speech

[LakeArenal]

5. That's already happened, and still no accountability.

[Irish_Dem]

7. His threats and angry rhetoric have already harmed people.

And he is still allowed to threaten the criminal justice system.

[Kid Berwyn]

12. Dip's main reason for running is to stop his prosecution.

And should he win, next comes revenge.

This time, the American People won’t get defrauded by Russia, like in 2016.

[Irish_Dem]

13. The revenge will be brutal.

And he will also steal everything he didn't get the first time.

[Kid Berwyn]

17. Brutal and total. And if he could, he'd live for ever.

Of course, a grateful Reich would do all it can to sustain a deranged moron.

[Irish_Dem]

20. Once back in the WH he gets the best medical care in the entire world.

Military doctors and hospitals literally on call wherever he travels.
So he could live longer than expected.

No one can imagine the constant and very expensive medical care Dick Cheney
received when he was VP.

[Tanuki]

26. Hello again.

Goodbye.

[senseandsensibility]

29. Who was it?

[Quixote1818]

33. I will PM you what it was. nt

[Whiskeytide]

78. Would you mind PMing me also. I do miss ...

… being able to see those posts. It was one of my favorite things about DU back before Тяцмp came along and it got so toxic.

[Quixote1818]

31. I got to rule on that one.

Voted gone in less than a second. LOL

[niyad]

60. Darn! Did I just miss our least-favourite troll?

[dchill]

66. Don't you hate when that happens?

[niyad]

68. Some days, I miss all the fun!!!

[Irish_Dem]

81. At least we get to see some of it when doing jury duty.

But yes DUers and MIRT are so dang fast we miss most of the action.
Of course if they weren't efficient we would complain about that I suppose.

[niyad]

82. True about jury duty. I think I have been on one more than a dozen times just

in the last few days.

[Irish_Dem]

95. Yes same here.

[Recycle_Guru]

4. stochastic terrorism

same as tagets on Dem pictures that got Gabby Giffords shot.

[RVN VET71]

61. Gabby was seriously wounded and

The demented maniac who shot and wounded her also murdered Dallas Green's 9 year old grand daughter -- "collaterol damage" I think they call it.

[Haggard Celine]

6. Any one of us would have to

cool our heels in jail until the trial. And none of us have tried to overthrow the government. Every day he goes without being locked up is an insult to the rest of us.

[Irish_Dem]

8. Nor did we steal classified documents which put people in harm's way.

Yes you are right, it is an insult to those of us who follow the rules and laws.

[Stuart G]

9. K AND R...I THINK THAT DONNIE BOY HAS STEPPED OVER THAT LINE....AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE LINE IS.

[colorado_ufo]

93. He is testing the judge.

[pwb]

10. Define going after? Why can you speak ill of people and

when you get some back you throw your lawyers and thugs and money around at them? Someone should start an anti trump legal defense fund and take that play away from him. Sue us all.

[Docreed2003]

11. Trump is trying to test the waters

Best case scenario he gets to keep posting his screeds on his social media page, worst case they shut his ass down and he gets to fundraise off of how he's being "persecuted". His games are tiresome.

[Irish_Dem]

15. Yep. He figures he can't lose. He can keep going and get more and more outrageous.

And stir up his base to commit violence.
Or he gets shut down and raises a ton of money by being the jesus victim.

[Docreed2003]

22. The potential for violence is always there with some of his crowd

I don't think Trump cares about anything other than raising money and he covets the idea of being back in the office of President to unleash hell on anyone who opposed him in any way.

[Irish_Dem]

25. Trump cares about the violence in his name. He loves it.

He is a sadistic sociopath and gets turned on by the suffering of others.

And he loves being so adored people will literally kill for him.

[Haggis 4 Breakfast]

32. Bang on, Irish_Dem.

This is all he has left. Fine. Let his suicidal supporters sacrifice their wasted lives on the alter of trump.

This time around, law enforcement will be ready for them.

[Irish_Dem]

36. Hopefully the judicial teams, witnesses, and jury will be protected.

[Haggis 4 Breakfast]

43. Well, at the Fulton County Court House,

they erected fences and barriers. Let's hope they pump up security at the other venues.

It takes a really sick mind that wants to see innocent American blood shed just to bolster his ego.

[Irish_Dem]

44. Trump is the star of show, everyone else -- just props to be used and discarded.

Or killed. He had no concern at all about Pence being hung from gallows.
Or the capitol police being maimed or killed.

[Haggis 4 Breakfast]

46. What do you think he would have done/said IF his goons actually killed someone ?

Pence ? Nancy Pelosi ? Chuck Schumer ? Adam Schiff ? Liz Cheney ?

[Irish_Dem]

49. He would have called the killers heroes who were protecting God, the US, the Constitution.

And this is what happens when people cheat and steal elections.
The good guys come after the bad guys.

[Justice matters.]

92. And taxpayers have to foot the bills for all those extra measures...

And it's not the well-offs top 1% who have to pay more interest on the state's cc debt.

[Evolve Dammit]

39. Yes indeed. Sick fuck. Mussolini re-incarnated

[Irish_Dem]

42. Yes. Like Mussolini, Putin, Hitler.

[Butterflylady]

53. Well, Hitler committed suicide. Trumps ego is to big to do that.

Mussolini was hung by his feet along with his mistress and another guy so that won't happen. Putin will get his one day for all the people that died by his hand. So mr. trump is in great company.

[Irish_Dem]

73. Trump joins the ranks of the world's worst leaders.

I have no idea how it will all end.
If this were a movie I wouldn't believe any of it.

[orangecrush]

87. No, like Putin

A different breed of animal

The people saying "America won't be fooled by Russia again" are whistling past the graveyard.

He is the frontrunner for the GOP Presidential nomination.

Trump was a masterstroke by Putin, and remains the biggest threat to life as we have known it in the US ever posed from within our borders.

His remark about coming after those who try to stop him, and still walking around free serve the purpose of demonstrating that the judicial system is not going to stop him.

I am starting to believe it will take a plan and masterstroke of equal magnitude and audacity to put Trump and enablers down to where they can no longer operate.

What that would look like, I don't know, but I sure hope it's in the works.

[Evolve Dammit]

94. and DeSatan is no better. Just a bit more "polished" coming from Harvard?

[Generic Brad]

56. Except he figures wrong this time

As a narcissist he naturally assumes he always has a degree of control. That is not going to fly this time. He's already lost except he has not realized it yet.

[Irish_Dem]

74. And his history is that he has always had control.

He has always been able to lie, bribe, threaten, sue his way out of trouble.
He even got away with brazen sexual assaults on women in public.

Yes it is going to be interesting to see how he reacts when he understands he does not
have total control over his life like in the past.

We can see how he reacted to the judge calling him "Mr. Trump."
He erupted several hours later with raging threats against her and the prosecution team.

I think he is going to get much worse unless some limits are set.

[Generic Brad]

76. I'm expecting narcissistic meltdown this upcoming week

I also expect him to give a signal or code to his acolytes to terrorize his “enemies “. What happens in Georgia next week will bring this all to a head.

[Irish_Dem]

79. I think the meltdown started today.

With the all caps threat against those coming after him.
It was aimed at the judge in particular after he felt humiliated by her.
But he blames Smith so he is a target as well.
All the prosecutors are.

I agree, Trump is going to ramp it up and try to burn it all down.
And yes Georgia is going to bring it all to a head.

[Tree Lady]

21. Yes he stepped his toe over the line

to see if judge will do anything, if not he will go further and further.

Just like a 2 yr old testing his parents.

[Docreed2003]

24. That fits with his emotional maturity for sure

[herding cats]

58. Yep. He's testing his 'free speech' boundaries.

Then he's going to use any quashing of his speech to make the point it's all about controlling his 'free speech' and nothing more. He's a victim of a corrupt DOJ, etc. It's a major plank of his defense.

Which we all know is complete BS, but I suspect that's what he's doing here. It's just more of his trying this in the court of public opinion of his supporters.

[lostnfound]

14. He is losing it... a different meaning to "Lock Him Up!"

[kentuck]

16. He has a rally tonight...

...and some people may be watching him very closely? I think he wants them to arrest him. He thinks that would be the catalyst for his people to storm the gates.

[bigtree]

27. here's the thing, from someone who used to be a troublemaker

...once they haul you in, no one wants to know you.

It's the mark of a dumbass.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

57. I doubt

he "thinks" any further than his last fake twitter post.

[jcgoldie]

18. Nothing says "i dont think I can win" like...

Send me to jail I prefer chaos over evenntrying.

[sinkingfeeling]

19. Who had one day in the office pool?

[niyad]

63. Quite aa few. I figured it would be yesterday.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

69. In this queue

I was surprised he didn't do it when he walked out of the courthouse and saw cameras.

[Kennah]

72. Checking

[panfluteman]

28. Should We Really Be Surprised?

1) We know that Donald Trump is a pathological liar - 30K+ lies while in office
2) Donald Trump did not uphold his Oath of Office, and incited am insurrection against the very government / constitution he swore to protect and defend.
3) Donald Trump did to his Oath of Office exactly what he did to his marriage vows to Melania Trump - he broke them.
4) Without a legal leg to stand on, Donald Trump is in survival mode, and will do whatever he thinks will best ascertain his chances for survival.
5) So - knowing Donald Trump after putting up with him for what seems like an eternity now, can we really be surprised?

And finally - why the HECK don't we lock him up already? The judge has the right and the authority to do that, doesn't he???

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

70. She

The J6 judge is a woman, and I don't think she has much of a tolerance level for nonsense. She'll give him some leash--all liberal judges do--but it doesn't have as much slack in it as Fatty McDumbArse realizes.

[senseandsensibility]

30. Thanks for this

I was going to post if no one else did.

[Blue Owl]

35. Go fuck yourself you fat fucking fuck

[rubbersole]

48. What do you have against fat fucking fucks?🤪

[Blue Owl]

54. Only tRump is the fattest fucking fuck

Normally I wouldn't fat-shame anyone but this piece of shit deserves it....

[MorbidButterflyTat]

59. It's not

fat shaming.

One, narcissists can't be shamed.

Two, he's a fucking fat fuck.

[Orrex]

37. Jail him incommunicado until the trial is over

Or, failing that, let’s at least abandon the obvious lie that we have one system of justice for all.

[Beartracks]

38. "Trump will violate the order in 3, 2... Oh, never mind. What a surprise."

[Fiendish Thingy]

40. "But your honour, I wasn't talking about you when I said 'you'..."

“I was talking about my golf buddy”

He just needs a chance to explain…

[Captain Zero]

62. He should have to appear to explain himself

Could the judge haul him in to explain in person all the remarks like this he makes?

That might cool his heels. He doesn't like appearances unless it's a Nazi rally.

[Fiendish Thingy]

64. Unless something more egregious happens, I'm guessing it will wait until the 28th

Although I think the judge has excused Trump from appearing at that hearing, so we shall see…

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

71. She can call him in

But I don't think she will unless he says/does something super-egregious.

Or until her patience wears too thin.

Whichever comes first.

[Scrivener7]

85. That's basically exactly what he's saying now.

[Ponietz]

41. Directed to the United States government generally

and specifically to each prosecutor, judge, and witness.

[gordianot]

45. He is pushing it always testing to see what he can get away with how others react.

This is the end result of a lifetime without real consequences. Who is left to pay off now?

[milestogo]

47. What a child he is.

Lock him up and throw away the key.

[Cha]

50. Retweeted Kyle Cheney * Joyce Alene..

Link to tweet

Link to tweet

[Takket]

75. 100% agree

The worst thing the judge can do is say "no" but there is no reason not to at least ask.

Make him sit there with his hat in his hands so we can all see what a meek little wimp he really is when he tries to explain

[Cha]

77. Yes. What you said. TY!💙🇺🇸

[Emile]

51. Lock him up until his trial!

I guarantee he'll want a speedy trial then.

[Rorey]

67. Excellent point NT

[xocetaceans]

52. It's clearly time to take Trump into custody and hold him until his trial concludes. Then, he can...

...be sent off to solitary confinement in a SuperMax-equivalent prison or maybe on to Guantanamo Bay, if convicted.

It seems like it would probably be difficult to protect him (and national security) in a general population, so solitary confinement probably makes sense for him.

[Richard D]

84. Or...

... Put him in a cell with Rudi, who after all has a thing for big tits.

[SouthernDem4ever]

55. seriously, lock his ass up

He needs to atone for all the crooks he pardoned anyway.

[dchill]

65. Deal with him now - or deal with him later...

...at a MUCH HIGHER COST.

[dalton99a]

80. Kick

[mwb970]

83. Jesus, what a total dick.

Why do his worshipers love him so intensely? He's a jerk and a despicable ahole. Do they not know this? I don't get it.

[democrank]

86. Someone better stop this dangerous fascist....and soon.

If no man is above the law, Trump needs to be brought down a few pegs. Punish him for his outrageous behavior.

[Novara]

88. LOCK THE FUCKER UP NOW

He's already violated the judge's order.

She was smart - she was specific, but not explicit. He's violated her order already (with the emotional maturity of a 2-year old).

LOCK HIM THE FUCK UP.

[ejbr]

89. This is nothing new

What would be new are consequences

[lees1975]

90. If he's not jailed until the trial, this will go on.

It is making a mockery of the DOJ and the court. He has no respect for the law, so the law needs to smack him down and show him who is boss.

Come on people, grow some balls and do the right thing.
