The judge in Donald Trump's classified documents case did not rule from the bench Monday on special counsel Jack Smith's request to impose a limited gag order on him.
Prosecutors argue his rhetoric inflamed a supporter who attacked an FBI office.
And that was from a “tough” judge who was doing everything he could not to jail him. Eileen Cannon is absolutely not going to meaningfully enforce a gag order. And she’d probably set aside 3 weeks to hear motions for each violation before refusing it.
What’s the gag order gonna do? He’s ignored all the gag orders placed on him. Gonna make him pay a fine again?

More rope to hang himself with…I hope.
We’ll find out in a little over two weeks.
