    I'm not hearing "I guess."

    “Well I’m not allowed to testify. I’m under a gag order. I guess,” he said as he looked at his attorney, Todd Blanche, who nodded.

    “I’m not allowed to testify because this judge, who’s totally conflicted, has me under an unconstitutional gag order,” Trump added. “Nobody’s ever had that before, and we don’t like it, and it’s not fair.”

    Then I am sure his lawyers have told him not to worry then, end of story. Let's hope the judge abides by it.

    You guys have had since 2016 to find another candidate and you have Butkus.
    So rather than finding your own, your side has embarked on using lawfare to destroy your opponent.
    How weak does that make your party look, not to mention your initiating the "third worlding" of our country?

    If he did nothing wrong, he's got nothing to worry about. ;)

    What is the judge saying that makes you fake concerned?

    Hey.....guess what I found and it makes your claim totally absurd (to be polite.). Sure, an initial "I guess," but tripled down.

    Was still a guess and the judge is now threatening him with jail. Has Cohem been slapped with such a threat yet?

    Are you saying the judge threatening him with jail this morning is fake?

    That came after my post, but I'll ignore that you don't grasp the time/space continuum for a moment.

    The court's admonition to the Orange Buffoon was entirely appropriate given the numerous breaches of the gag order. He can talk about many many things, but he chooses to blabber about the illegal things---he's an idiot.

    Yes. But not all of us take the law seriously, obviously. There would be no more Trump supporters if that were the case.

    Gag orders are not unconstitutional. Please stop pretending they are. It's frankly embarrassing.

    Go look up prior restraint.

    I know what prior restraint is. You seem to think all forms of regulating speech is per se illegal. There's no authority for your claim. Please do some research.

    You seem stuck with fallacious hyperbole now. This is a clear prior restraint on a constitutional right.
