Justice Department Special counsel Jack Smith appealed to the federal judge overseeing former President Trump’s election fraud case Friday evening to issue a protective order for evidence, citing social media threats.
“IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!” the former president posted earlier on Truth Social — a move which has already drawn criticism with a former spokesperson for Trump calling it “chilling” and “witness intimidation.”
“Such a restriction is particularly important in this case because the defendant has previously issued public statements on social media regarding witnesses, judges, attorneys, and others associated with legal matters pending against him,” Smith wrote in the filing.
“If the defendant were to begin issuing public posts using details — or, for example, grand jury transcripts — obtained in discovery here, it could have a harmful chilling effect on witnesses or adversely affect the fair administration of justice in this case,” he added.
Prosecutors claimed the attempts to reach an agreement on a protective order with Trump’s legal team have been fruitless, and have prevented the prosecution from supplying documents to the defense as quickly as they would like.
Trump was indicted on four federal charges Tuesday, alleging that he attempted to orchestrate a fake electoral college vote scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Bravado (!=) Confidence. He is a spineless coward who has thrown every single person in his orbit to the wolves the minute that it suited his interests, insulated him from the consequences of his actions, or protected his fragile ego. I’m sure you’re already a better person than Trump could ever hope to be.
You could say the same thing about many a despot throughout the course of human history. Getting people to buy what you’re selling through lies, intimidation, or lopsided power dynamics speaks more to his followers lack of ethics or common sense than the strength of his positions.
Hitler sure did rally lot of Nazi’s too. Regardless of what you say about him, Adolf’s figured out the way to get some people to see things his way. That must be nice.
Way to jump to the extreme. At some point in history every skin color was enslaved. Instead of sitting here fighting with me. There is actually real slavery going on in Africa as we speak. Maybe try to help out on that front.
Look where the money goes from these private companies who employ forms of slavery in the global south, and which governments have aided the ability for those entities to operate in those countries. It’s basically US foreign policy the last half century under the guise of fighting communism. The fascist coup’s sponsored under Operation Condor and the like to make sure these countries were accommodating to having their resources extracted for private profits. Pinochet in Chile for instance, his political rival Orlando Letelier was even assassinated by car bomb in Washington DC.
You’re right about slavery and “indentured servants” too. In the US it was the Dutch trade network that formed the economic basis for using slaves from Africa (“black” didn’t exist as a notion of racial identity initially), in fact white slaves were preferred because they understood the language and culture. It was during this enterprise which notions of white racial superiority really developed, “white” itself originally reserved for a very specific class, and of course an ever-changing definition. It was through this process of racism which our current notion of race developed, with all it’s contradictions and absurdities, to explain and justify the disparities this system inflicted and provide categories of ascriptive difference.
I don’t respect theocratic fascist fanatics like you who constantly try to push your backwards views on the rest of us normal people just trying to live our lives in peace the way that we choose to.
It’s called personal freedom, especially from your “religion” and “morals.”
Bruh. It’s almost like you are writing a script that someone else gave you. Look I’m not going to change your mind and you aren’t going to change mine. It would.be cool if we could have a chilll conversation. Peace out.
Nah bruh. I don’t converse with the enemies of free will, bruh.
Also bruh, I think if you leave your bubble of christian hate, you will find that the majority of Americans are on my side with this. Stop pushing your antiquated ideals onto people who don’t want them.
This is the best summary I could come up with:

I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Man. What absolute asshat. What I could do with one iota of his confidence and self righteousness

True, but regardless of what you say about trump, he’s figured out the way to get some people to see things his way. That must be nice

Grow a spine. Be a man. Serve your country/community. Fight for old fashioned morals.
Lmfao serve your country like pab captain bone spurs did by dodging the draft with daddy’s money?
Give me a fucking break, you people are hilarious.
Old fashioned morals… like women and black people are property?
I think what we should be fighting for is modern morals. We don’t all live in Florida.
K.
Well you asked the question.
They didn’t, it was rhetorical. But I can see how that was confusing.

This is the way to call people out. “Please explain your well thought out opinion”
Slavery is way more important than old fashioned morals. You just want to fight and not fix anything.
Are you always this agitated?

No I try not to see the bad in every thing. I think people for the most part are good. I don’t let every thing trigger me.
