    He’s playing to his donors and staying in the headlines. He’s pulling in millions in donations every time he complains. It’s making a mockery of the judicial system and campaign finance to fleece his electorate. The gag order should have been much more broad.

        While not with this case, because this case is civil, He’s on felony pretrial release on 4? other cases. If virtually ANY other defendent had said any number of the things he said, that pretrial release would be revoked and he would be in jail pending trial. His rights are extremely limited in the situation he is in and it’s well within the courts jurisdiction to limit the things he does all the way up to jailing him. That includes limiting his speech, house arrest, etc.

        His repeatedly engaging in various forms of fraud and intimidation provides a perfectly valid legal basis for those rights to be curtailed significantly.

        UnFortunately, dude still has rights, regardless of how many times he breaks the law, or makes a mockery of it.
