“I 100% understand everybody’s concerns for the parties, the lawyers, & frankly myself & my staff based on what we’ve seen in other cases,” Dist Judge Sarah Wallace said as she agreed to the #ProtectiveOrder.

The order prohibits parties in the case from making #threatening or #intimidating stmnts. Scott Gessler, a fmr #Colorado secretary of state representing #Trump in the case, opposed it. He said a PO was unnecessary because #threats & #intimidation already are prohibited by #law.

ICYMI:

The #Colorado judge overseeing the 1st significant #lawsuit to bar #Trump from the state’s 2024 presidential #ballot on Fri issued a #ProtectiveOrder prohibiting #threats & #intimidation in the case, saying the #safety of those involved — including herself & her staff — was necessary as the groundbreaking #litigation moves forward.

@BigBoppa I agree. Americans have a hard time getting that saying certain things is a crime.
#Trump exploits this by calling his violations of his #ProtectiveOrder part of his 1st Amndt protected speech. It's NOT.
He DOESN'T have the right to threaten judges, prosecutors, witnesses, potential jurors or their families
The Judges are being specific, so when Trump clearly violates his #GagOrder, there'll be penalties. JAIL is 4th on the LIST of penalties, & I think he'll reach it before trial.

@chrisgeidner I just read the #ProtectiveOrder. #Trump can't make copies, or take photos with his phone. That might work.
He isn't supposed to take notes on identifying info. The defense is supposed to ensure he doesn't. But #Trump is cunning. He'll use nicknames that only HE will know!
Mike #Pence will be C for Coward. #MarkMeadows will be VW for Very Weak. The defense will pretend they can't crack the code.
I'd look for #TFG memorizing a name & posting the gist of witness testimony.

"What will happen next WHEN Trump violates the protective order or his pretrial conditions?"
I asked Lisa Graves, former Deputy Attorney General, this on @nicolesandler Show.
There will be steps the judge can take before putting #Teump in jail for contempt.

@GottaLaff
Thanks! I called into the show to ask Lisa Graves specifically "What will happen next WHEN Trump violates the protective order or his pretrial conditions?"
Lisa answers with some possibilities. We know #Trump WILL #violate his #ProtectiveOrder what will #JudgeChutkan do?

The request to federal judge #AileenCannon was an attempt to bypass a stricter provision contained in a #ProtectiveOrder proposed by the govt that would require #Trump to discuss & review #classified #evidence only in one of the highly secure locations run by #federal #courts in FL.

While Trump’s #lawyers refused to offer many details about their preferred location, they told #JudgeCannon it was “a previously approved facility at or near his residence”….
