Trump blasts partial gag order: Jack Smith 'wants to take away my right of speaking freely'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former President Trump attacked Justice Department (DOJ) special counsel Jack Smith after the prosecutor asked for a partial gag order in the trial related to Trump’s alleged effort to overturn the 2020 election.

“Deranged Jack Smith, he’s the prosecutor, he’s a deranged person, wants to take away my rights under the First Amendment,” Trump said during a speech Friday at the Concerned Women of America conference in Washington. “He wants to take away my right of speaking freely and openly.”

“Never forget our enemies want to stop us because we are the only ones that can stop them,” the former president continued. “They want to take away my freedom because I will never let them take away your freedom.”

Smith requested a limited gag order to prevent Trump from saying “certain prejudicial extrajudicial statements,” seeking a “narrow, well-defined restriction” on what the former president can say about the case.

Intimidation of public officials and witnesses is not free speech Donny boy.

3. I have had similar thoughts - Jesus must not love me enough

to keep TFG out of my life...

9. We must have some bad karma.

What the heck did we do in a past life to earn this one?

11. I've been asking myself the same question.

Will he ever go away, like a bad smell or a stubborn cockroach.

Sadly, I need to take a break from DU. Stuff in my life. And certain *human beings* continue to add profound toxicity.

7. Well, Donnie...my idea of a limited gag order

is a muzzle and a straight jacket...

8. Check yourself into the Club Fed and get your speedy trial, Donnie.

Your supporters pop out hemorrhoids thinking about people waiting outside the jail for trials, so they're already on the record about poor people in your situation, so just pretend you're as poor as you appear on your tax returns.

10. Do it, just do it, Jack and team. Curb his 1st. Amendment rights.

Then jail if he violates the order.

[Justice matters.]

14. That's why they should have locked him up earlier...

Mob bosses await their trials locked up.
