How should Judge Chutkan respond to Jack Smith’s request for a ‘narrowly tailored’ gag order on Trump?
The 1st Amendment doesn’t protect witness intimidation, jury tampering, or threats to the presiding judge or the prosecution The narrowly tailored gag order that Special Counsel Smith has requested is well within the U.S. Constitution’s limits. About time!https://t.co/nXz0EQzXim

Jack Smith was smart to put Trump’s misconduct in front of the judge. She is not going to like it, and it certainly won’t make her more inclined to rule in his favor.
But Judge Chutkan would be wise *not* to impose a gag order. Instead she should move up the trial date. https://t.co/CS67mZXhC0
