A hearing on the scope of a protective order, the limitations imposed for the handling of evidence, in the special counsel’s election subversion case against former President Donald Trump has been planned for Friday at 10 a.m. ET.
In other words, the Biden DOJ’s attack on the former president over a free speech issue has just gotten more outrageous and more unconstitutional, and it’s mind-boggling that the judge would even entertain a hearing on the matter.
This would be the first hearing before Judge Tanya Chutkan, who has already faced criticism from Trump supporters and has gotten enhanced security.
Her decision to schedule it for Friday morning follows Trump’s attorneys’ request for the elections case hearing in Washington, DC to be scheduled early next week, citing his busy legal calendar, which includes a Thursday court hearing in Florida in the separate classified materials case. The Trump team stated that they had “lost” Friday as an option, although it’s unclear what they meant from the filing.
Chuktan had previously stated that she hoped to hold the hearing on the evidence rules by Friday. The team of special counsel Jack Smith indicated they were accessible at any moment on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.
Trump is not compelled to attend the hearing in DC on Friday, according to Chutkan.

So let me get this straight. The Biden government wants to prosecute Donald Trump for speaking out about his belief that he won the 2020 election and that it was stolen from him. Smith is trying to argue that Trump knew he lost the election and tried to overturn it by lying. Trump did not lie about anything, but even if he did, the US Supreme Court has already ruled that lying is protected speech. So, then why are we here?
The crooked, dirty prosecutor Jack Smith is saying that Trump had no First Amendment right to say what he said about the election, and he’s trying to claim that the former president’s words were actionable. In other words, he is arguing that Trump’s words caused a riot on January 6 at the Capitol that the Democrats immediately labeled as an insurrection. But Trump made no actionable statements. He never told or asked anyone to harm anyone. It’s just not there. But the Biden administration wants him out of the way for the 2024 election. Welcome to communism.
Smith is going to argue to a radical Obama-appointed judge, who has already sentenced January 6th defendants beyond what the prosecutor’s recommendations were, that Trump not only did not have First Amendment free speech rights to complain about an election, but he now does not have the right to speak about the so-called evidence that this dirty government is trying to take away his liberty over.

The DOJ does not want to hand over discovery information. Jack Smith does not have a choice in the matter. The law says that a prosecutor must hand over discovery evidence to the defense with enough time so that the defense can devise a proper legal plan to defend their client. And that includes exculpatory evidence in the possession of the prosecution.
Jack Smith is known to withhold exculpatory evidence, and he has done that in this case where he added Trump’s speech from that fateful day to the indictment but he edited out the part where Trump said, “And now we will march peacefully and patriotically to the capital to let our voices be heard.” I bet neither CNN nor MSNBC told you that. This means that Special Counsel Jack Smith lied in his indictment about Trump lying that he thought he won the election. By Smith’s own standards, he should be indicted for lying in the indictment. Do you see how crazy this all is?
The government typically requests such orders to ensure that other people engaged in a case, such as witnesses, are not exposed to excessive pressure by defendants. Such decisions frequently follow federal guidelines that limit what material can be made public from a grand jury session and under what conditions that information can be shared. The orders are often requested, and judges routinely issue them in both criminal and civil matters.
That’s all well and good, but this case is bogus and everyone involved knows it. The government is not playing by the rules and yet they expect Trump’s legal team to play by the rules when the rules benefit the prosecution.
A gag order, in contrast to protective orders, forbids a defendant from speaking publicly about a pending lawsuit. These orders are more common in high-profile cases, but they are still less common than protective orders due to constitutional issues.
If the judge orders in favor of the prosecution, then you know the case is rigged even more than we thought. Let’s break it down. The Biden government wants the trial to be held in Washington, DC, where 92% voted for Biden. He cannot get a fair trial in DC. They also have Judge Chuktan, who is going to act as a Pitbull for the Biden DOJ judging by how she has already treated Trump supporters. And now they want to take away Trump’s right to even talk about the bogus, made-up evidence they are going to use against him to take away his liberty.
Welcome to the Communist States of America.
