After being twice impeached, indicted felon Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 counts against him in a Manhattan courtroom, New York Judge Juan Merchan declined to issue an order of Trump’s vitriolic social media posts, instead warning Trump and his lawyers that he didn’t want to see any more.
Jake Gibson, a federal law enforcement producer for Fox News, seemed very nervous as he reported what he saw in the courtroom.
“At some point, the prosecution released all of the social media posts he’s made recently, including one where he’s holding a bat next to DA Bragg,” Gibson said. “The prosecution said this could be considered incitement to violence.”
The prosecution “wanted him to give a gag order”.
“Judge Merchan said ‘no, he wouldn’t gag,’ but he told Mr. Trump and his lawyers, ‘I don’t want to see this anymore. I don’t want to see – the next time I see something like this I might have a different idea of what I should do,” Gibson said.
What’s the over-under on Trump adhering to the judge’s order? One day, twelve hours, one hour, thirty minutes, one minute?
MAGA has already targeted Judge Merchan’s daughter.
UPDATE: It didn’t take long for Trump to violate the judge’s instructions.
