They’ve done their best to put it on the record for appeal. What comes next, I wonder?
The Traditional Airing of the Grievances.
Even after all this time, people still think a promise from Trump carries some meaning.
Trump has said he will testify. This does not mean he will testify.
Hence the use of the word, “implies,” not “promises.”
We’ve already seen the (supposed - snicker) feat of strength yesterday.
It’s the legal equivalent of “You can’t fire me, I quit!” Even to the point that getting fired is usually better, because you are often owed severance pay or unemployment insurance.
There’s no implication, either. When Trump says he’ll pay his bills, release an infrastructure plan, or testify in court, it doesn’t mean anything. It’s not a promise, an implication, it’s not even a hint about what will happen in the future.
Well, that’s me told!
Judge Engoron just imposed a gag order on Trump for making a Truth Social attack on the judge’s clerk.
This does not surprise me at all. Trump is such a dumb ass.
I don’t doubt you, but have you got a link? I’d like to find out more.
(CNN is too busy with goings-on in the House Speaker vote debate to show any other news.)
It’s just now being reported out on MSNBC. I’ll post a link as soon as one becomes available. 
Here we be:
Did Trump delete the post, or was it an issue of non-payment to their ISP 
Thank you, David! I’m reading it now …
Andrew Weissman just said Trump removed the post because the judge ordered him to. Although I don’t have confirmation of that yet.
ETA: Indeed, thank you, @DavidNRockies, for the AP cite.
Very diplomatic on the Judge’s part: “A defendant has posted…” (Paraphrased.) He did not name Trump. Sometimes, the passive voice works well.
Ah, CNN has just interrupted the House debate to break this news.
engoron drops the hammer on trump!
Justice Engoron said that his statement should be considered a gag order forbidding any posts, emails or public remarks about members of his staff.
He added that serious sanctions would follow were he to be disobeyed.
What another asinine move by Trump. Eventually, I’d like to see him wheeled into the courtroom Hannibal Lecter-style, with a literal gag across his mouth.
Often, court staff become like family to a judge. Good grief, we spend more time in each other’s company than we often do with our own family members.
I used to chuckle under my breath whenever a baby lawyer came in to try their first case and started ordering the staff (bailiff, court reporter, clerk) around like they owned the courtroom. It never went well for them.
In my orientation with new articling students, one of my top ranked tips is : “Don’t have two standards of politeness, one for the judge and counsel, and a different standard for the court staff or secretaries. Use the same standard of politeness for everyone.”
What happened to never surrendering?
