  • In every trial I've ever seen gag orders are applied to protect the defendant. Yet with Trump the state declares it needs protection from him. Absolutely pathetic. 😂
  • @deadname...
    So the guy who pulled a bait and switch with the evidence is worried about misinformation ?
  • @patriot4usa
    Hey Jack Smith, didn't you tamper with the evidence? Sounds like a crime to me.
  • @williamlane7429
    So what you're saying is that Jack Smith doesn't like being called out on his bullshit and thinks scratching out the 1st amendment is a good legal move.

    Jack Smith lost 9-0 at the U.S.S.C for making up BS look it up
  • @bluesky1560
    These fascists are making this so easy. 🇺🇸 TRUMP 2024!!!! 🇺🇸
  • Gag orders are usually issued to protect the defendant. Why does the prosecution need a gag ?
  • @dianegarcia6562
    So ashamed of what ABC has become. Ashamed of how a former president of our nation is being treated. This country is no longer run by Americans 😢
  • @grumpypumpkin1
    Good grief - imagine being so afraid of a defendant talking about a case. Why not let him talk - it literally compromises nothing.
  • What about a gag order for Jack to stop spreading his lies?😂❤
  • @willmont8258
    Trump gets to say what he wants about the search of his home. Smith doesn't get to limit his freedom of speech.
  • @markcosenza3274
    Jack Smith can't save this fraudulent case. He has a record of losing 9-0 in the Supreme Court. Jack Smith is Unconstitutional himself!😂😂
