🚨🚨 THIS IS BIG:
Special Counsel Jack Smith is officially seeking a protective order in the criminal case brought against
Trump in his attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
The attempt to get a protective order comes after the former President appeared to threaten prosecutors and investigators looking into his criminal behavior on Truth Social. Trump said:
"IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!"
The motion for a protective order states that conduct like Trump's could result in 'a harmful chilling effect on witnesses' and potentially hurt chances of a fair trial.
Shoudn't Trump be held to the same standard as anyone else in this situation? NO ONE would be able to get away with this.
I fully agree, under ANY other circumstances, (even in a UK court) a defendent who threatens any member of the court, judiciary, witnesses, prosecution or ANYONE would be arrested in contempt of court, at the very least I think. But there are specific crimes that are being committed here, each one probably carries a few years in prison.
