The Justice Dept. goes to the judge on the above…..
Federal prosecutors proposed a protective order referencing Donald Trump’s Truth Social post from tonight, saying it clearly references other parties and participants in the case against him, Politico reports.
Trump swore in court yesterday he would not attempt to influence or intimidate witnesses, retaliate against anyone, or in any other way attempt to obstruct the administration of justice.
….
Stories keep popping up in the media about how Trump & Co. are plotting ‘Revenge’ against Government officals..
.
Some of those officals now have security details…
Should they be worried about losing their jobs should we have a 2nd Trump admin hanging over their heads?
This isn’t ‘Free Speech’…..
Intimidation is a legal wrong which usually involves deterring or coercing an individual by threat of violence. It is in various jurisdictions a crime and a civil wrong (tort). Intimidation is similar to menacing, coercion, terrorizing[3] and assault in the traditional sense…..
@AWeissmann_
This is the kind of thing that DOJ alerts the court to with respect to any defendant out on bail (in this case, in 3 criminal cases, and also is a threat in civil cases like E Jean Carroll). Not addressing this will only cause it to metastasize with undue deadly risks.
@lauferlaw
@TheJusticeDept should probably request the Court reconsider the former presidents bail conditions.
Update…..
The Federal filing actually points to a wotty that Trump would go after witnesses in his Jan. 6 case.
The Feds have most people who worked closely with Trump as witnesses against him.
His public comments based on Government trial evidence could be leaked in the media which could have his support ers going after people….
Trump routinely goes after Federal officials….

The judge COULD have Trump brought back to court and remaned to jail if he/she wanted to and let the Secret Service, Marshals and Bureau of Prison’s figure out how to handle it if Trump doesn’t stop threatening people….
One images his lawyers are talking to their client….
That bdoes NOT mean Trump will listen ……
Play double dare with the judge and the court
jamesb says
THAT WOULD be interesting on so many levels…….
jamesb says
It would/could add other charges……

There is now a Domestic Terrorist wing of the Republican Party.
Where are these so called”moderates “ condemning them?
jamesb says
If U take the time to read past the first paragraph in the polling piece’s u’ll see that Trump’s support is NOT solid among GOPer’s…..
While the vote for number can be 50’s or higher?
The solid support is only around 37%
The number who think the Jan 6 charges sre serious is ABOVE 60%
I known u are in South Carolina
GOPer Land
But Trump’s support IS fractured
The numbers ARE there….
