44. Smith probably won't ask for a gag, but the judge will do it for him

Forget about the facts of the case for a moment. The judge has the right to uphold and protect the dignity of the court and its officers. Posts that say the prosecutor is "deranged" and the court and jury pool is biased will force the judge to at least consider a gag order. So even if she does not enter one tomorrow, she will put the defense on notice that she will do so if Trump's shenanigans continue.
