Judge Holds Hearing on Proposed Gag Orders Against Trump

Judge Aileen Cannon held a hearing on Monday.

The focus was on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s proposed gag orders against President Trump.

What a surprise.

What is it with Smith and the Democrats obsession with gagging Trump?

But even after the hearing, the judge didn’t make a decision.

You see, earlier this month, Jack Smith filed a motion for yet another gag order on Trump.

He didn’t want the President to comment on law enforcement over DOJ’s deadly force policy when they raided Mar-a-Lago raid.

The Gateway Pundit reports:

Judge Aileen Cannon Monday afternoon held a hearing on Jack Smith’s proposed gag orders against President Trump. Jack Smith was in the Fort Pierce courtroom on Monday taking notes.

After Monday’s hearing concluded, the judge did not issue a ruling on the gag order.

Earlier this month Jack Smith filed a motion seeking another gag order on Trump related to his statements on law enforcement over the Biden DOJ’s deadly force policy during the Mar-a-Lago raid.

President Trump’s lawyers lashed out at Jack Smith earlier this month in response to the special counsel’s second request for a gag order.

“In Jack Smith’s most recent shocking display of overreach and disregard for the Constitution, the Special Counsel’s Office asks the Court to enter an unconstitutional gag order as one of the release conditions on the leading candidate in the 2024 presidential election,” Trump’s attorneys wrote.

Last Friday night Special Counsel Jack Smith added to his gag order request against President Trump ahead of Monday’s hearing.

In a Friday night filing, Jack Smith reinforced his request for a gag order against Trump by claiming the federal agents involved in Hunter Biden’s care are receiving threats.

Jack Smith’s prosecutor David Harbach was so nasty and rude during Monday’s hearing on the proposed gag order that he was almost tossed out of the courtroom.

Judge Cannon admonished Harbach and warned him he would have to leave the courtroom if he couldn’t act appropriately.

“Mr. Harbach, I don’t appreciate your tone. I expect decorum in my courtroom at all times. If you cannot [act appropriately], one of your colleagues can,” Cannon said to Harbach according Julie Kelly who was inside the courtroom on Monday.

Harbach apologized to Judge Cannon after she threatened to throw him out of her courtroom: “I didn’t mean to be unprofessional.”

President Trump’s lead lawyer Todd Blanche argued that Jack Smith’s gag order would have a “chilling effect” on President Trump.

David Harbach argued that Trump isn’t allowed to lie about the FBI.

From FLA courthouse: Gag order hearing just ended. Will have details shortly.

Overall, the bad behavior by Jack Smith's team continues. David Harbach, one of the lead prosecutors, almost got himself tossed out of court this afternoon.

After several minutes of Harbach's…
