What does that mean for Truth Social?

Some Were Wrong About Trump When Judge Chutkan laid down the law (so to speak) about what Trump can and cannot say about the case before her and the people associated with this case, some commentators on the cable TV news shows predicted Trump could not go 24 hours without violating the judge's...

Point taken. You are correct. Some leakers intend to do exactly as you suggest. I was speaking more about the effect of leaks on me, which I try to keep to zero. Here on EO, you will almost never see me cite a news story that relies on unnamed sources. In my personal reading and news watching, I...

The media often reveal their sources. You see it every day when they quote a person by name, or cite a document that readers can verify.

You can entertain yourself with leaks all you want. Go ahead and make up all the stories you wish to explain the unexplainable. Personally, I rarely waste my time on them. I am never puzzled about who is leaking because I don't care. Being patient, I'm happy to sit back and wait for the truth...

I have not commented about this before but let me do so now. There is much talk in this forum about leaks from DOJ. The problem I have with that is the blanket assumption that all leaks are from the DOJ all the time. In many cases, the "people familiar with the matter" who are quoted in many...

Per Google Bard: "Judge Tanya Chutkan can sanction someone who is not on Trump's legal team. In her role as a federal judge, she has the authority to impose sanctions on anyone who violates the rules of the court, including witnesses, lawyers, and even members of the public. This includes TV...

Georgia Grand Jury Expected to Indict Trump Next Week All indications are Fulton County DA Fani Willis will present her investigation results to the grand jury next week. An indictment of Trump and others is expected. After years of speculation, we'll finally learn what the Georgia case...

I don't know the answer to your question. The judge was very clear regarding witnesses and jurors. Her statements were more general regarding other aspects of the proceedings. The judge did say this: “Even arguably ambiguous statements from parties or their counsel, if they can be reasonably...

That's Waters and Cain. My question was about Trump. What has he said since the judge's order and instructions were given?

Just Curious I'm not on Truth Social. Since yesterday's hearing in Judge Chutkan's court, what, if anything, has Trump said on Truth Social, or anywhere else, about Judge Chutkan, the Trump case in her court, Jack Smith, Mike Pence (witness), the DOJ, or related matters? How long do you think...

Irrelevant. The paper discusses in detail why Section Three applies.

No, if you read the paper, you'll find it does not say that at all. Also note that Democrats did not write this paper. It is the product of two conservative constitutional scholars who are members of the conservative Federalist Society; an organization that successfully lobbied to get numerous...

Why Trump May Not be on the 2024 Ballot in Several States This new 126-page paper, was written by two legal scholars and conservative Federalist Society members. Their paper provides the legal foundation for any official whose job it is to determine a candidate's eligibility for public office...

So you say, but she is not going to recuse, is she? If she was going to do that, she would have done it already. The next step toward recusal is for Trump to file in court a request that she recuse. 10 days ago, he said he will do that very thing "immediately." But nothing yet. So unless Trump...

If Trump Doesn't Get This Message ... (Chutkan quotes from various news sources.) In court today, Judge Chutkan sent a clear message to Trump. If he does not get this message, he'll find himself in deep trouble with a judge who made it clear that "I will do everything necessary to protect the...

They may be working on it but by all accounts, any motion for the judge to recuse or for a change of venue will fail. I think that's the reason "immediately" turned into nothing.

Trump did not say he wanted to take care of other court issues first. He said "immediately." That was 9 days ago.

As Expected, Trump Gets No Special Status in Court Because He's a Candidate "The defendant has the right to free speech, but that right is not absolute," [Judge] Chutkan said at the onset of the hearing. "Without a protective order, a party could release that info to the jury pool." ... "The...
