    Widening the gag order sounds much more appropriate.

    Although if idiots were to show up at the home of AG James you might reconsider charging Trump with whatever crime seemed appropriate.

      Widening the gag order sounds much more appropriate.

      It really doesn’t, though, because the end result is that Donald Trump, 45th fucking President of the United States, gets away with creating a substantial threat to the safety of a government employee involved in litigating against him in one of many court cases. Again.

      But they’ll say “Oh, everybody knew that already, see it was someone else’s article!” and “AG James is not court staff!” and “First Amendment!” and “Get some flypaper!” And he will get away with it, again. He’ll get away with it next time, too.

      The only way to keep him from stochastic terrorism is for one of the criminal courts to revoke his bond and put him in detention pending trial.

        I mean your right. I’d love to see him in jail.

        It’s just that people with far more political and legal credibility than me are going to extraordinary lengths to ensure that the opportunities to cry foul as are minimal as possible.

        You’re absolutely correct that this behavior reprehensible and all the rest but that specifically isn’t a crime.

      The n the contrary, if doxxing is a crime and he meets the letter of the law he should be charged with that instead. And held without bond. Let him sit in jail without a phone until his lawyers successfully appeal the bond ruling.

        this is not the experience of rich people in our court system. they do not sit in cells while their many lawyers do their thing.

        if any regular people had done half of the felonious things that turd has, we’d be sitting in a cell.
