US District Judge Tanya Chutkan said that she plans to put serious limits over how sensitive evidence is handled in the Donald Trump 2020 election interference case, in a dramatic hearing Friday in Washington, DC, that could set the tone for the upcoming trial.
The former president has a right to free speech, but that right is “not absolute,” Chutkan said. “Mr. Trump, like every American, has a First Amendment right to free speech, but that right is not absolute. In a criminal case such as this one, the defendant’s free speech is subject to the rules.”
He does what he wants anyway, yet everyone is too afraid of incarcerating him for it.
The motherfucker loves testing boundaries. The only ones he’d have to respect are physical, ie walls he loves so much. His whole life has been walking past rules, norms, and shouldn’ts, taking what he wants, and bragging about it.
Walls, preferably 4 of them surrounding him pending trial based on his lengthy prior record of ignoring court orders.
But Old Man Richie Rich will of course die comfortably in his bed while poories of color continue to get summarily executed for looking suspicious.
The absolute worst case for him is compassionate house arrest in the lap of luxury. Funny how the courts always seem to reserve their allocation of compassion for wealthy felons despite our “equal protections under the law,” isn’t it? His bone spurs ache too much for big boy prison, plus his affluenza is acting up. And even that is highly unlikely in our rigged, corrupted judicial system.
I knew old men in prison that could barely walk. He’s not ill enough for a compassionate house arrest.
My understanding is the secret service detail for life is what’s making prison unlikely. Not his health.
And if it is his health, he has no business running for a second term.
It’s almost like we have two separate justice systems…
