Well, howdy there, internet people, it's Beau again.
So today we are going to talk about Trump and how things went for him yesterday and
how he seems to be taking the news and how it's being framed versus what was actually
kind of said because the two things aren't the same, unsurprisingly here.
So if you have no idea what I'm talking about and you missed the news, Trump is, well, he
he lost his voice a little bit. Yesterday in the, this is the federal DC election
case, okay, not the other ones, although there's one of these orders. Anyway, he
was, there was an order put in for a very, very narrow gag order. That's, that's what
it is. We haven't seen the official order yet, at least not at time of filming, but
But by what was said in the courtroom, this is incredibly narrow.
He's not allowed to verbally go after witnesses, court staff, or prosecutors.
That's it.
It seems as though, it seems to me, based on what was said, that the judge left herself
in bounds.
And we'll see when the actual order comes out, but based on what was said, she kind
of just was like, yeah, if you want to criticize me, do it.
So Trump, rather than, you know, having all of his First Amendment rights taken away,
if he was to say, this prosecution is politically motivated by the Biden DOJ and the judge,
they don't like me because of my beautiful hair or whatever, it seems based on what was
said in court that that would be in bounds.
It's incredibly narrow.
Of course his supporters are framing it as though now he's not allowed to talk about
anything.
Of course that's not the case.
Now the obvious question here is what happens if he violates the incredibly narrow order?
There are a lot of options that the judge would have.
I would kind of point out that the judge used the term conditions of release more than once.
Kind of a reminder of what's possible.
He is out right now because the justice system is allowing him to be out right now.
There are conditions of his release and that term was used more than once.
I do not think that this judge in particular, out of all of them, I think she'd probably
be quickest to be like, okay, you're going to go after one of my court staff and make
something up about them or say something that might be libelous or might put them at risk.
That's fine.
Hope you can find a way to get a phone into your cell.
This is again another one of those moments where I am not certain the former president
understands, like actually understands what's going on and the gravity of the situation.
But when you hear people talk about it and they talk about the gag order, I would make
sure that you are ready to point out, it is incredibly narrow based on what was
said in that courtroom. Again, we have to see the actual order first, but all
indications at this point really kind of limited to witnesses, court staff, and
prosecutors, that he's not allowed to go after them.
I do not see how that would impact his campaign, so that is, that's probably going to be the
talking point, but I don't think once the order actually comes out, I don't think that's
going to hold water.
Anyway, it's just a thought.
Y'all have a good day.
