    Assuming the prosecutor did…it’s meaningless. Prosecutors and defense attorneys make all sorts of claims during a trial. As long as the judge didn’t specifically say Trump violated the gag order for specifically saying “Pecker is a nice guy” then the prosecutors claim is moot.

    No one else would be on trial for these charges.

    Was E. Jean Carroll charged with illegally possessing a firearm? Speaking of "special treatment".

    I don't know. What is the status of her case ?

    So your objection is not that the Orange Stain is a felon, it's that other felons got away with similar crimes and didn't get prosecuted ?

    Then talk to whoever hacked your account and claimed that there was.

    I'm pointing out the double standard. A standard you all seem to be perfectly fine with.

    Deflection noted.

    What double standard ?

    I just illustrated the double standard in response to yardmeat whining about "anyone else would be in jail by now". Dou you think you would be in jail if you admitted to illegally possessing a firearm?

    Still deflecting ?

    You see, the answer to this question is critical to your theory that a double standard exists.

    Questions have question marks and pose a question. You made a statement. Do you need me to familiarize you with your own post?

    Then Trump has the right to appeal.

    My prediction: Trump will lose on appeal. There is nothing unfair about this gag order.

    Says the guy who isn't a lawyer, isn't a judge, wasn't a member of the grand jury that indicted Trump.

    Yeah, your qualifications for making such a claim are flawless.

    No, which is why I defer to the lawyers and judges overseeing this case.
