Prosecutors say the former president’s message on Truth Social raises specter he might use evidence to target witnesses.
In a court filing just before 10 p.m. Friday, Senior Assistant Special Counsels Molly Gaston and Thomas Windom alerted the judge in Trump’s latest criminal case — U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan — to a combative post Trump sent earlier in the day.
“If you go after me, I’m coming after you!” Trump wrote in all caps Friday afternoon on Truth Social, which is run by a media company he co-owns.
The prosecutors said Trump’s post raised concerns that he might improperly share evidence in the case on his social media account and they urged that he be ordered to keep any evidence prosecutors turn over to his defense team from public view.
Trump never having been jailed for contempt is baffling
I think you misspelled infuriating.
How about we stop acting like this is a goddamn game and take this seriously?
Throw him in jail until the trial starts.
The day he sees the inside of prison is the day I begin to re-evaluate my belief, or lack thereof, in a higher power.
Come on Anu/Vishnu/Zeus/Jesus/Utu/Osiris/Joe Pesci, make me a believer. Please.
Destroy atheism, throw him in jail.
Might be a good slogan for Christianity. Haha.
You know this whole bullshit has just reenforced my atheism. There really is no one out there protecting us. If we don’t do the right thing we have to live with that.
Wouldn’t that be considered witness tampering or something like that?

When he said he could shoot a man in cold blood in the middle of times Square, he wasn’t kidding. He’s literally raped children for God’s sake.
As often as he projects… i’m kind of wondering if he’s had people murdered… like the time he accused Joe Scarborough of murdering his intern… i remember thinking holy shit… start searching trump properties for buried bodies… i mean shit he buried his ex wife on a golf course.
He’s a convicted rapist. No conjecture or hyperbole. A convicted rapist.
The word convicted is in fact hyperbole here because it’s a criminal law terminology and this context it is used in is from a civil litigation. The civil judgment of his guilt in this case is different from the criminal convictions that he faces in his newer indictments from federal and state prosecutors
Look, I dislike him as well, but do you have any proof for that last statement? I have yet to see or hear of anything like that.
They’re talking about Katie Johnson on this list. It was strongly rumored at the time that she dropped it because she and her family got death threats.
Some of the things in her story don’t really add up, particularly the bit about it being in Epstein’s apartment, and “identifying him” on TV years later on television. Accusations like this that wind up being false are extremely, EXTREMELY common.
Also, the chances of her knowing Epstein off hand but not Trump especially in 1994 are incredibly low. Epstein was a nobody in 1994, no chance were those two friends at the time.
Not saying it didn’t happen, but why would trump be hanging out in Epstein’s raggedy ass apartment to begin with?
Does the justice?
No, worse its witness intimidation. Essentially tampering “you should x” intimidation “I’ll do x” one effects current witnesses while the other implies they’ll go after current and potential witnesses.
That only counts when you don’t have money.

He probably gives a flying fuck about this. He is already in deep shit creek, and any chance to rally his fans is more important than just another half inch of extra mud he is sticking in. Because if those morons vote him back into the white house, the first thing will be to pardon himself from all the crimes he did, and retaliate against the juridical system with prejudice.
He is already in deep shit creek
It’s either:
He is in deep shit
or:
He is up shit creek (without a paddle)
He can’t stop digging
I am 100% convinced that he thinks pushing the envelope as far as possible thought out this will stall the process, cause conflict, and make the court look like it has a vendetta against him. He’s going to do this most with NY, DC, and GA case, and not as much in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida case because his entire argument in those other cases is that the courts themselves are trying to silence him. And who knows. It might work. It’s worked for him well in the past.
His only way out of this is to stall, stall, stall, and win the election by making himself look like the victim to his core supporters and few dumb fuck centrists in swing states.
And it’s working. You’ll be seeing influential people who were critical of trump come out and say “I hate trump but it’s obvious he’s being attacked simply because they hate him.” These people will be paid millions by his campaign. People like Joe Rogan etc. will “gradually” become full on trump supporters with the narrative they they still don’t like trump but hate what the DOJ is doing more and paint trump as a future political prisoner.
The only way out of this is a huge effort to get people to vote. They’re counting on apathy and muddy waters.
Throwing an ex president in jail would bring a myriad of problems, but at some point America should bite the bullet, own its mistake, and fucking do it.
But not throwing him in jail sends a pretty terrible message to his contemporaries, causing more problems.
Or when you see idiots post things like this. If you want to complain that’s fine but at least look at the facts what you’re comparing. Apparently Trump supporters are incapable of that. Yes Hilary questioned the election results and even Democrats objected to the electoral count of the certification of some of the rust belt states Trump won. But they didn’t try to get Joe Biden to send the results back to Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Obama wasn’t calling up state officials to overturn the results. Democrats didn’t get an angry mob to storm the capitol.
Also, while I don’t doubt that there were more than enough people voting for Trump anyway, considering the fact that he has attempted to fiddle with the results before, what is the guarantee that he hasn’t before that?
I’m not saying Hillary was right (it doesn’t matter in hindsight anyway), but at least now I understand her doubts a bit more.
With all the projections of him losing, Hillary winning popular vote by 3 million, I’ve thought since then something shady happened. Then in 2020 with all the bullshit he spewed, where did he get that idea from? Everything these clowns do is projection. The only fraud found was fraud they committed. How much more did they do that didn’t get looked into?
At this point, whenever someone from the GOP accuses anyone from the left of something, I say both get immediately investigated. We all know what the results would be and right would plug their ears and walk away yelling Hillary’s emails and Hunter’s laptop.
He’s so Mob.
He got so fucked over by Roger stone who is so Mob.
America’s dead.
The mob never went away they just became politicians and learned how to hide in plain site. Like every other us “achievement” JFK breaking down the mob was all for image to push more false security to a country of blissfully ignorant consumers.
Puts on a bigger tinfoil hat…
Now the Kennedy’s are under mob control and next in line as the mobs puppet is Robert.
They gotta work carefully to make it look like these poor mailable maga types are making a movement and take any criminal blame, while they (the mafia) move deeper into the government.
Trump should just release the information to public he has instead of trying to go through the proper channels which clearly isn’t working
