The original GAG Order on Donald Trump , which had been held in abeyance to see if his legal team could provide sufficient legal reason why it should not be imposed fully, and which during the interim Trump violated several times,has, by the Judge been reimposed. The Justice Department decided in view of Donald Trumps statement that basically tried to say that ANYTHING he said, no matter to whom or what about, even if it violated any part of the gag order was protected speech because he was a candidate for President. The Justice Department stated that was nonsense and violated multiple laws protecting others. Also the gist of their argument is that anyone can run for president but it does not give you any immunity from Justice if you commit a crime or have already committed any. As Donald Trump has already been indicted in several of the counts of the ( so far) 90 counts of criminal action filed against him, he is in fact a felon under the law. Therefore he already has restrictions on him that a non felon does not have.

So...true to his usual modus operandi Trump continued his Burn his own Bridges plan in Court today, after thinly veiled threats versus the Judge, and Prosecutor, and being warned , he ignored that warning and today ...DURING COURT proceedings in the New York Civil Trial, he actually posted the Judges law clerks photo and personal identification to one of his websites which is a direct violation of any State or Federal Courtroom rules as well as the major threat to the immediate safety of the law clerk! The Judge, on her lunch break, saw it, dragged Trump into her chambers, read him the riot act and demanded he post a retraction on the same site, ( which he did), then dragged his attorneys in to chambers and did the same The Judge then issued a blanket GAG Order on all participants but especially Trump. Well....if former president Trump was looking for a tour of a state prison cell, and huge fines for his future non cooperation, he's going at it the right way.
