Gag order lifted

A New York judge has lifted the gag order imposed on former President Donald Trump in his civil fraud trial stemming from state Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit against him and the Trump Organization.

Citing concerns over free speech, appeals court Judge David Friedman issued a stay on the order Thursday, which was put in place by Judge Arthur Engoran in October.

At Thursday's emergency hearing, Friedman questioned Engoron's authority to limit Trump's speech outside the courtroom, and argued gag orders were used more in criminal trials where there is a fear of swaying a jury. The ruling also applies to Trump's lawyers, who say they have no plans to inhibit the former president's First Amendment rights.

Trump wasted no time

Trump celebrated the ruling in a post on Truth Social, in which he railed against Engoran.

Follow the money.... and the sex

    Wow -

    Fulton County DA Fani Willis (allegedly) sleeping with the Special Prosecutor she appointed.

    His earnings - stemming from her appointment - have paid "for both of them to travel on both the Norwegian and Royal Caribbean cruise lines."

    The Special Prosecutor has pocketed $1 million in legal fees.

    This is the biggest RICO case in GA history - and "the special prosecutor has never tried a felony RICO case." pic.twitter.com/qhWV319reZ

But wait, there's more

    3 days after Trump announced his 2024 candidacy, the Biden WH held a secret meeting with Nathan Wade.

    Who is Nathan Wade?

    Wade is the lead prosecutor in Georgia investigating Trump for Fani Willis.

    He is also having an affair with her and is using taxpayer funding to pay for… pic.twitter.com/KzzHGcPn33

That should raise a few eyebrows*.

*Dems, left, and most of the MSM excluded of course

[WLJ]

Maybe even some on the left are troubled by the above

Fulton County, Georgia district attorney Fani Willis, who brought charges against former President Donald Trump on election interference, should step away from the case amid allegations brought against her of having an "improper" romantic relationship with a prosecutor, according to an Obama-appointed former U.S. attorney.

And predictably she's pulling the race card.
Anymore nowadays I take that as a sign they know they've been caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

And what about the reports that indicate both Willis and the BF were at the WH and possibly met with JB while there?

Former President Trump is ordered to pay $ 83.3 million in defamation case.

Was this the trial where the jury found him not guilty of rape, but guilty of insulting the woman who accused him of rape?

[Ben]

Was this the trial where the jury found him not guilty of rape, but guilty of insulting the woman who accused him of rape?

Also the one where the judge refused to hear evidence in favor of Trump and also today threatened to throw Trump's attorney in the klink.

[WLJ]

You smell something?

[MillCreek]

Was this the trial where the jury found him not guilty of rape, but guilty of insulting the woman who accused him of rape?

Guilty of 'sexual abuse', which the judge clarified as forced digital penetration. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/19/trump-carroll-judge-rape/

[WLJ]

So rape that wasn't rape but was rape 

[Ben]

I wasn't aware of this:

@RaheemKassam 's article shows that Trump was the 7th man E Jean Carroll has accused of rape.
The woman is twisted and obsessed

[Hawkmoon]

I wasn't aware of this:

I wasn't, either. I'm certain the mainstream media mentioned this factoid prominently. I must have scanned all those articles too fast and just missed it ...

Whoops, wrong thread

Well this just got far more interesting.

Trump lawyer says defense just learned that E Jean Carroll judge was once 'mentor' to Carroll's lawyer. 'This issue is particularly concerning since Plaintiff’s other lead counsel, Shawn Crowley, served as Your Honor’s law clerk, and we were previously advised that Your Honor co-officiated her wedding.' https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco

E. Jean Carroll MIGHT Want to Hold Off Spending Her Winnings Based on BOMBSHELL From Trump's Defense Team
https://twitchy.com/samj/2024/01/30/trump-defense-learns-carroll-conflict-n2392342

Now do I expect anything being done to the judge who obviously had a huge conflict of interest? No
But a reversal could be up coming but we are living in clown world so I'm not holding my breath.

I also read that not only was Trump denied evidence submission, but the judge denied hearing Trump witnesses. This is going to be turned over on appeal, but the political damage is already done, which is pretty much how banana republic courts work.

Also, here she is talking to Rachel Maddow. Her attorney doesn't seem happy.

In this instance, the damage is minimal IMO.  It is still January.  The appeal will be heard and maybe decided well before November.  Also, the media has been demonizing trump since 2016.  Anyone who changes their mind over this was already voting against him. 

I think Amber Heard and the Johnny Depp trial did a good job of undermining the power of accusations like this.  Anyone who has heard of Trump can look at that accuser and know that she wasn't the type of woman Trump was reputed to be interested in.  That is Bill Clinton's reputation.

"A secret Obama memo, the Presidential Information Technology Committee (PITC), regarding control of Presidential records could change everything in the DOJ’s politicized prosecution of Trump," the organization announced Tuesday on Twitter/X.

By executive fiat, Obama created the PITC following a 2014 Russian hack of the president's Executive Office computer network. The committee "includes representatives of the Departments of Defense and DHS, among others" and "established the President’s exclusive control over information resources and systems provided to the President," according to America First Legal.
