Michael cohen is an Example Part of this Gag Order President trump is not free to respond to this. What you make on this Gag Order . Or some glad you hit on this. In my experience we are now pushing almost 30 years in the criminal justice system, the only instances in which a Gag Order has been issued i spent what it is intended to protect the defendant in the case. And that is when you use the Gag Order. And that it applies to the government. It applies to witnesses it is a universal application. I have never seen anything like this where the defendant is actually given the Gag Order, cannot Say Anything about the case but others are free to say things. It is frustrating to those of us who watch this. This is not a common prosecution. Its not the use of facts, the adherence to law
