Cannon strikes again.

[whitehall]

Another gag order on Trump and everyone forgets that the current president was deemed to be too senile to be prosecuted on the same charge. Orwell was right. The world is upside down.

Will Cannon Even Rule On It?

This happened late Friday before the holiday weekend so I’m assuming many of you didn’t see it: In the Mar-a-Lago case, Special Counsel Jack Smith moved to modify the terms of Donald Trump’s release, asking the court to prohibit him from further attacks on federal law enforcement.

The latest parry arises from Trump’s blatantly false and highly incendiary claims that President Biden effectively ordered Trump’s assassination by dispatching a FBI kill team to do the Mar-a-Lago search. It’s batshit crazy stuff, and Smith is asking U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon … sigh … to order a stop to it.

It’s not a gag order per se; it’s a modification of Trump’s terms of release, which keeps him out of jail pending trial. So it doesn’t have the same First Amendment issues that might accompany any order against a non-criminal defendant.

Yesterday, Trump filed a big, over-the-top response, asking for Smith’s motion to be stricken and any DOJ lawyers associated with its filing be sanctioned.

In a normal case, this would be set up a big showdown in front of Cannon – and either side might end up appealing her ruling to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. This is of course not a normal case. Cannon’s M.O. so far has been simply not ruling on pending motions. Hard to have a showdown in front of the judge when the judge is a no show.
New Trouble Is Brewing In The Mar-a-Lago Case

Judge declines to bar Trump from making comments about law enforcement

WASHINGTON, May 28 (Reuters) - A federal judge on Tuesday refused a request by prosecutors to impose a gag order barring Donald Trump from making inflammatory comments about law enforcement, after Trump's campaign falsely claimed the FBI was authorized to assassinate him during its search of his Florida estate.
Special Counsel Jack Smith previously asked U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to modify the Republican presidential candidate's conditions of release, saying his "false and inflammatory" comments about the FBI could subject the bureau and trial witnesses to "threats, violence and harassment."

Smith should have asked the 11th Circuit to remove Cannon months ago. This, after her second, highly prejudicial ruling in Trump's favor was slapped down. We are seeing what a rogue legal system hijacked by Trumpists looks like in real time.

How very fascist of the xiden admin, they raid a persons house they try to silence the man from event talking about it

Don’t worry the people will remove you all in November

No news on Cannon dismissing Jack Smith for being appointed illegally?

That is the Grand Slam. The gag order is meh.

Cannon should tell Smith to GTFO of her courtroom
