The gag order is unconstitutional. He should have appealed I right away. It’s a gag on Trump but everyone else can go on TV to slam and respond to the attacks on him.

@poivre22 they are when they are only applied to the defendant who happens to be a candidate for the presidency of the USA genius.

@poivre22 and NDAs are used all the time. And they are legal and not a violation of federal campaign laws.

@josephrunnion1473 no. It’s not. Talk to the FEC. I’m a lawyer dude. You are not winning this argument by it’s a personal expenditure and not a campaign finance violation.

It’s not a campaign violation. Period. It’s consideration for a contract. That’s legalese for the benefit of the bargain. Trump paid her and she promised to be quiet for the money. He did not want his wife to find out.

@josephrunnion1473 I’m referring to the FEC person who offered to testify as an expert in this trial and the judge refused to let him. It’s a difference between buying a suit to campaign, considered personal. Versus buying buttons for your campaign. It’s a personal expenditure according to the rules of the FEC. He lays it out. I can’t remember his name.

@josephrunnion1473 it’s not for his campaign. He would have paid it anyway. To keep his wife from knowing. I don’t understand why you can’t see the difference. I don’t remember his name. He was interviewed by Megyn Kelly and several others during the immediate aftermath of the indictment. The indictment fails because it violates due process not to inform Trump of the crimes charged. The FEC and the DOJ did not charge him because it did not violate campaign finance laws. I don’t know what to tell you. Look it up.

@poivre22 no. This case has no basis in the law.

@josephrunnion1473 the law says he is not guilty. Why the judge is allowing this is reversible error.

@poivre22 no. Many many others agree with me. This case should not have been brought. Period. Stop telling me what to do. I will state my opinion and you can have your opinion. That’s how democracy works.

@poivre22 no. I want you to look up the law. I’m an attorney. You are not winning this argument. Trump has a a prior restraint on speech during a political campaign. This gag order only applies to his speech. No one else’s. So Cohen the judge’s daughter can smear him and he can’t defend himself. That’s what this is. This judge is conflicted. When he brought his daughter into this he should not have. He should have recused himself. So, you are wrong. If everyone was gagged I’d have a different answer. But they are not. The test for political speech is more stringent. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
