Showing Original Post only (View all)Jack Smith seeks protective order citing Trump's threat on Truth Social [View all]
https://www.rawstory.com/jack-smith-seeks-protective-order-trump/Special Counsel Jack Smith on Friday reportedly moved for a protective order in the criminal case brought against Trump over the former president's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, referencing a social media threat Trump posted earlier the same day.
Trump earlier Friday issued a threat that he will be "coming after" anyone who "goes after" him.
"IF YOU GO AFTER ME, IM COMING AFTER YOU!" Trump posted without any further context on his own Truth Social platform.
That spurred action from the prosecution, according to Kyle Cheney, the senior legal affairs reporter for Politico.

Well, if splitting hairs, being prepared to comply is not the same as agreeing to comply.

Unless there are consequences for Trump, future presidents can run wild like Trump.
