Hasn’t he already violated several gag orders without any consequences? Why should he stop now?
My understanding of the current situation is that there were “informal” warnings, but not actually codified legal gag orders. I guess it was like the judge specifically told Trump not to say anything that could be construed as witness intimidation or jury poisoning.
Since he immediately turned around and did exactly that, now they’re doing it “officially”.
Any other person would have thrown into jail a long time already, but he keeps getting away with it.
Oh, far and beyond without a doubt a normal person like you or I would be in the slammer right now waiting for trial. I could not say the shit that he said in front of a camera and not be immediately punished for it. Trump has been treated with kid gloves throughout the whole process because everybody is afraid of invoking political wrath. I’d say if you make a fool of yourself and clearly attempt to obstruct justice, it shouldn’t matter if you are a president or a pauper, it’s time to be put away. Smart people stay silent.
