Comment on Judge Chuktan warns Trump against 'inflammatory' remarks before trial
Lovstuhagen@exploding-heads.com 1 year agoEven if Trump is too old to be president, and even if Trump were to look and act like Biden, this is still an incredibly controversial decision as it absolutely interferes with an election.

If we let criminals escape punishment because they’re running for office then criminals will just use that to escape the law. No, allowing that traitor to skate would be controversial. It was his decision to run for office while under criminal investigation, he doesn’t get a get out of jail free card just because he wants to shit in the white house using government toilet paper again

Nobody is suggesting that the trial doesn’t go forward and is nullified…
The suggestion is that they get to speak freely about the trial as it goes forward and don’t have their speech limited.
Also what do you think of the novel legal theories being employed against Trump in these particular charges?

Nope, not how it works. Witness tampering is illegal for a reason.

So they say it’s actually about not contaminating the jury pool through making these statements.
Of course I would never endorse some scenario where Trump is literally cornering witnesses and threatening them or trying to meddle… That would be bizarre.
This is about curtailing the speech of someone during their own electoral campaign.
