New in PJ Media:
Ever since the news broke about his indictment, Donald Trump has been rising in the polls and getting a big boost in campaign donations, demonstrating that the whole banana-republic endeavor is backfiring spectacularly on the Leftist establishment that is determined to find something, anything, it can use to destroy Trump. So now a federal judge is moving to put an end to the Trump momentum by slapping a gag order on the candidate ahead of his anticipated arrest on Tuesday. Is a silent Trump a neutralized Trump? We shall see. And is such a gag order even legal? What do the Leftist elites care about that anymore, if they ever did?
The UK’s Daily Mail on Sunday quoted an anonymous source saying: “The Trump legal team now thinks that the Manhattan judge will take the unprecedented step of silencing the presidential frontrunner with an unconstitutional gag order tomorrow.” Trump’s team is not taking this lying down: “The Trump legal team is considering adding a First Amendment lawyer to the effort to combat this and will fight it all the way.” If the gag order is put in place, Trump could incur a fine and a prison sentence of up to a month for violating it.
The gag order looms after Trump has made numerous comments about the case against him, including this one: “The Corrupt D.A. has no case. What he does have is a venue where it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to get a Fair Trial (it must be changed!), and a Trump Hating Judge, hand selected by the Soros backed D.A. (he must be changed!). Also has the DOJ working in the D.A.’s Office – Unprecedented!”
And: “I want to thank everybody for the tremendous support you have given me against this assault on our Nation. Our once beautiful USA is now a Nation in Decline. Radical Left Thugs & Insurrectionists have taken over our Country, & are rapidly destroying it. They are using the levers of Law Enforcement, and have completely Weaponized the FBI & DOJ to Interfere with, Rigg, and Steal our once SACRED ELECTIONS. We are now living in a THIRD WORLD COUNTRY, but we will Come Back & MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Why, we can’t have the man going on about how the FBI and the “Justice” Department have been weaponized against America-First patriots, can we? Gag him!
Most recently, Trump wrote simply, and in all caps: “ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!” This sort of thing will never do: exposing the Left’s hypocrisy about elections in the context of commenting on the political persecution of the chief opposition candidate? This man must be silenced, pronto, or people are going to start to get the idea that everything is not on the up-and-up with the Leftist establishment!
There is more. Read the rest here.

Well, if he is *silenced* by a corrupt “judge” and is not allowed to comment until the trial, his silence will speak volumes.
When has Trump ever kept quiet? When has he ever not given his opinion?
And if he still *campaigns* but says nothing about the coming trial, or the charges, or his opinion of it all, the judge won’t be able to silence the minds…or the tongues…who will speak about the reasons Trump is not talking.
John Smith says
Agreed Somehistory,
Its absolutely disgusting that they are trying to silence him. This is a battle that he has to win, or we are all doomed.
somehistory says
freedom of speech….without it, we lose the other freedoms to their tyranny.
I’m no raving fan of his; but it’s crucial that he be able to defend himself by the use of the Freedom God gave all mankind…the freedom to speak.

DA Alvin Bragg is the personification of the two words “unethical” and “corrupt.” Bragg should be disbarred and have criminal charges filed against him.
John Smith says
Spot on Walter
Walter Sieruk says
Alvan Bragg is the one who should be arrested and put in prison .Even before he maliciously has gone after Donald Trump that villainous DA did everything to get real criminals, street hooligans, “off the hook” then they committed violent crimes.
For example, Bragg when out of his way to get a vicious violent thug , who even had a long history of committing violent crimes, freed after he entered a store and brutally attacked the shop owner . Bragg even went further , in his despicable mentally , he attempted to get the store own charged with assault for only defending himself after being first attacked by the horrible hooligan.
The former US President, James Monroe, had it right , when he said ” The right of self- defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and individuals.”

So if a judge violates the constitution w/ a particular ruling or order, do the subjects of that order violate the constitution by obeying him or defying him? Which is it?
If I were Trump, I’d say something like, “I was going to address the outrageous ruling by the judge, but due to the gag order, I’m not going to tell you that I was going to say that….” and then continue w/ whatever he was gonna say
John Smith says
There was a time when I believed nothing like this could ever happen in the US, but the US today is no longer the country it was. This is a politically motivated attack on Trump with trumped up charges against him. It’s just unbelievable that a Trump hating judge has been appointed to hear the case. This is a kangaroo court if there ever was one.
Brigitte from Germany says
I can`t believe what happens to President TRUMP.
Shame on you Bragg.

Do democrats want to fly a plane in to Trump tower? Wouldn’t put it past them. The Dilbert creator was wrong. The biggest hate group in the country is the democrat party. Under the democrat umbrella there are smaller hate groups among them have been diversified through race sex sexuality etc etc. NYC has a violent crime problem and I don’t care. I will never care about anything that happens in Indian country.
Lorensacho Byzantine says
It should be more than a gag order. Trump released a photo of the DA’s daughter on line just to inflict plain on the DA. Risking an innocent girl’s life because of some psychotic need to get even should place Trump behind bars.
tgusa says
We learned how people should treat judges from watching your side. The unethical creep joined a hate Trump group, have you two come across each other? In case you haven’t noticed your side has no respect for law and order and the judicial system and now our side has no respect for law and order and the judicial system. The days of double standards are over. How do you like the new normal? A large majority of those in the judicial system today should be behind bars and afterwards kicked out of the country. Syria or the Ukraine are prospective places to send them.
