Good
This shit about assassination attempt must be stopped
https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4685434-jack-smith-seeks-gag-order-in-classified-docs-case-after-trump-locked-loaded-claim/
Special counsel Jack Smith in a Friday filing called on the judge overseeing former President Trumps classified documents case to block Trump from speaking about the case in a way that could endanger law enforcement officials.
In his request, Smith asked the court to impose a condition that would bar Trump from making public statements that could pose a significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger to the law enforcement agents participating in the investigation and prosecution of this case.
Whether a particular statement meets that test must be determined by reference to the statements full context, the filing reads. But that condition would clearly prohibit further statements deceptively claiming that the agents involved in the execution of the search warrant were engaged in an effort to kill him, his family, or Secret Service agents.
Well done JS

At best trump will no longer use words like engaged. Id bet a number of Democratic leaning judges would not approve Smiths gag order as requested. But I can see some rules.
A solid conviction in NYC should prod trump to rethink his crud.

If any government agency wanted to kill Trump, it would be the CIA. The fact that it didn't showed great restraint.
