'This is so unusual': Ex-Watergate prosecutor reacts to judge imposing gag order on Trump

- Nick Akerman, a former prosecutor during the Watergate scandal, discusses a New York judge's decision to impose a gag order on Donald Trump, limiting the former president from making statements about potential witnesses in the criminal trial relating to hush money payments scheduled to begin in April. #CNN #News
Maybe the judge will throw the miserable bastard in jail.
Maybe the sun will rotate around the earth.
We can only hope.
Don't count on it. The lump will NEVER see the inside of a jail cell.
Clearly, the system is geared to work in favor of the rich and powerful as virtually every case has reflected.. jail should have happened years ago for Conman Trump, but they imprison and punish surrogates instead.
The most likely way for _this_ case to put him behind bars is for flagrant and repeated contempt of the court. While the charges he faces (again, in _this_ case) do carry potential jail time, they’re the lowest severity of felony and the jail time isn’t mandatory. That plus first-time criminal conviction would most likely get him a more lenient punishment like a fine or community service or such.
Contrast something like the documents case where, if convicted, he’d be facing something like 22 years according to federal sentencing guidelines with everything factored in.
I'm tired of him not being held accountable.
Perhaps he doesn't have much to be accounted for.
For what?
tired of him winning !
@@mhall801 *TREASON*
Accountable for what exactly? Are you also tired of Biden not being held accountable for all his wrong doings?
For those who call this unconstitutional, keep in mind you are free to say what you like, but you are not free from the consequences of said speech. Your 1st Amendment stops when it infringes on the rights of others. Furthermore, he doesn't HAVE to run for President. That's a choice. Answering to these charges, however, is mandatory.
Give me an example where Trump speech infringed the rights of the judge or any person?
Are you aware of how many people have 24/7 security because of Trump’s free speech???
@@anelemtiki3004He is attacking the judge (and his daughter) and also did this in previous courtcases. There he retweeted home adresses so their life was in direct danger. Is that enough infringing on rights for you?
Okay commie.
@@anelemtiki3004 In less than 24 hours of his gag order, he went on Untruth Social attacking the judge and his daughter. This is consistent behavior from Toupée Fiasco. In the Age of Information, ignorance is a choice.
Breach his bail. Take away his phone. Let him sit in the cells until the caae is over.
These are the side effects of arrogance and never being held accountable a day in his life!
Look up Roy Cohn
His arrogance and never being held accountable are amplified by his lack of impulse control, emotional dysregulation, & disinhibition characteristic of Dementia patients.

Criminal prosecution is night and day, when compared to Civil liability...
Dodger Don should have been TOLD he would go to jail for 7 days if he broke the gag order. Let's see what happens then. 👶👶👶🍼🍼🍼
Decreasing the amount on trump's bond recently encourages his unacceptable behavior.
I disagree. But it saves him from selling property to support his appeal. I think that's fair. No rush to take all his stuff away.
Most people haven't committed their crimes in front of the world and can claim some semblance of innocence.

Telling Trump to abide by a gag order is like telling water not to be wet

I am surprised he hasn't already defied the gag order because he thinks he is above the law.
I've only a few court experiences. Knowing the power of the court, and the authority of the judge, I knew well enough to not piss off the person who will be overseeing this case. Offending the judge is poking a bear.
God Bless this Judge ! Too bad the corrupt Judge in Florida doesn’t learn from the New York Judge.
Freedom of speech, not freedom to say anything you want.
Good for the Hudge standing up for the people
Trump thinks he can do anything he wants, but he is actually also accountable, maybe he will need to wake up and smell the coffee, or maybe he is too stupid to learn.
WTF kind of country are we in where a criminal defendant is able to threaten and intimidate public figures while facing trial.
You can't let this man intimidate everyone testifying against him and his jury.
The courts need to develop a spine in relation to Trump!

Someone had to shut trump up!! Theres freedom of speech ,then theres berating , threatenig , and bullying. Which shouldnt be allowed . The judge is in his right.
All this does is send a message that the judge is trying to persecute Trump whilst removing his first amendment rights
Nobody has shut Donald Trump up yet. If American voters aren't ready to step up in November, they will get what they deserve.
Why is he allowed to attack anyone at all? Any other defendant would be locked the hell up! When he breaks the gag order forget the fines and put his ar$$ in jail!!

OK. I JUST had weird image, him lying in his coffin with a pacifier. LOL.
👍😅
Consider the incredible planning that went into the 2020 election theft. Massive amounts of planning in multiple states, and executed simultaneously. We all concluded going to bed that evening that this was Trump’s win… and then in the morning it wasn’t. We all saw videos of ballots appearing out of nowhere in the voting centers. Ballot counting centers were shut down and poll watchers told to leave while vote counting still took place. We all either watched democrats fill ballot boxes with suspicious ballots.
Yet it happened. And we could do nothing about it. Joe is serving Barry's fourth year.
Then we witnessed J6. If anyone had hypothesized on January 5 that the FBI and Capitol Police planned to agitated the crowd gathered at the Capitol, then opened the doors for members of the rally to peacefully enter the building, being respectful, taking selfies, and staying behind the ropes, yet many of them would eventually be arrested and held in prison for months and years, we hypothesized that democrats in Congress enabled and/or orchestrated the event by turning down the National Guard requested by Trump, or even that a government agency planted two pipe bombs as “plan B” in case “plan A” didn’t work.
But that’s what happened. And we could do nothing about it as many innocent prisoners rot in jail, with some having lost hope and taken their own lives.
The lesson learned is that the Left will stop at nothing to stop Trump no matter who or how many get hurt, and that’s been obvious with all the sham indictments and trials of Trump for crimes he did not commit. Are they trying to break him? Well, that didn’t work. He comes out stronger each time swinging. Are they trying to disillusion his supporters? BACKFIRE! Are they trying to bankrupt his campaign? Remember… this is DJT, with more financial tricks up his sleeve than Wile E. Coyote.
We all saw the patterns the day after election day, and it was plainly obvious to all of us who have even a modicum of statistical talent that the election was stolen. We all also quickly saw the patterns of J6, the timeline, the lack of real violence, DJT’s insistence on “peacefully and patriotically”, and we immediately questioned how this could possibly be called an “insurrection?”
It therefore begs the question: what are the patterns that should be obvious today? Well, in a normal campaign it is the candidate (or Barry) who plan where and when the candidate travels. If someone wanted to plan something nefarious against the candidate (who has 24/7 protection by Secret Service) it would be hard to make any plans with uncertain venues.
Enter the multiple court appearances that are planned well ahead in large cities, not by the candidate in question, but by the government in control of those cities. If one wanted to plan anything nefarious, this is exactly how it’s done. Maybe I’ve watched too many movies of bank heists and other crimes that have meticulous planning… or maybe I’ve just witnessed the democrats doing just that for the last four years.
Joe?
Donnie's narcissism leads him into the danger zone all the time, but nobody throws a penalty flag (apologies for the mixed metaphor, lol). Thank you, Your Honor for calling a foul on the fool.

The two-tier justice system has existed in America for a while but at least now everybody can see it openly.
If a candidate can't campaign without defaming and threatening people, they need to go home and grow up first. There's NO right to violence.
