Trump took to Truth Social to criticize a potential witness, former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, who was scheduled to testify before a special grand jury investigating Trump’s election interference in Georgia. Legal experts said this amounted to witness tampering. Trump then attacked the judge overseeing his Washington D.C. election conspiracy case for being biased against him. He had previously made unfounded claims that the Georgia district attorney investigating him, Fani Willis, had an affair with a gang member. Willis denied the allegations as false and derogatory. If another defendant engaged in similar behavior on social media about a witness, they could face witness tampering charges or be jailed. The judge in Trump’s D.C. case had recently warned him to stop making antagonizing statements, but he continued his attacks on Truth Social.
Former President & Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Sherrilyn Ifill, argued that a different defendant would be treated differently.
I’ll take “No shit Sherlock” for $500 Alex. It’s so fucking blatantly obvious how there are two different tiers of justice in the US. If you or me did that our asses would already be in jail.
The word “privilege” breaks down into the roots for “private” and “law.”
Its reasonable for him to assume nobody is going to stop him, since nobody has stopped him yet. He thinks the rules dont apply to him. Placing him in custody/taking away his phone are the only thing that will work.
Good thing the Justice system isn’t just a slave catching firm with a bribery window or they would never charge him for anything and just play the clock until he dies and they can give him a state funeral with full honors and pretend this never happened.
Hmm 👍
I’ll bet my entire pension that this is how it goes.
Put the fucker in jail. If any other average person did anything even resembling this they would immediately be in jail no question and Trump should be treated no differently. He’s been given too many chances.
There are rules for you and me, and there are different ones for people of means and influence.
How Trump has managed to remain the prior and, and how on earth he managed to gain the latter still baffles me.

Pushing the boundaries until they buckle under the pressure is the point
Let’s be real: if you were his lawyer… would you try to hide his posts and risk getting fired without pay if he found out… or would you shut up and slap another item on the bill for defending him from another accusation?
And even if he weren’t to end up paying you the bill… which one would make for a more entertaining book to publish with higher chances of making more cash?
At this point, it’s vultures vs. vultures.
Does it matter how high a bill that wont be paid is?
Definitely! The higher, the better you can market a book about it.
Let’s be real: if you were his lawyer…
I’m gonna stop you right there.
That judge is just sitting back and letting Trump make a mockery of the court.
Makes me wonder if the judge is secretly a Trump supporter…
Or you can just add contempt and multiple charges of witness tampering on top?
