prosecutors have to submit legal arguments by 5:00 p.m. on the government s request for a restraining order to prevent the former president from attacking the judge, the prosecution and witnesses, influencing jurors or revealing grand jury evidence. the judge protected an argument they needed three more days to submit their objections to the protective order. the prosecutor s request came a few hours after mr. trump posted one day after his latest arraignment that quote, if you go after me, i m coming after you. even though the magistrate judge at his arraignment warned him against such threats. that led prosecutors to write the court that if the defendant were to begin issuing public posting using details or grand jury transcripts obtained in discovery, it could have a harmful, chilling effect on witnesses or adversely affect
neither of you or i are lawyers, but going after the judge, mike pence, he even felt he had to respond to this comment from the former speaker, nancy pelosi, which she made to me on friday about his court appearance. when i saw his coming out of his car and this or that, i saw a scared puppy. he looked very, very, very concerned about the fate. i didn t see any bravado or confidence or anything like that. he knows. he knows the truth. that he lost the election. and now he s got to face the music. so, phil, mr. trump reacted to that over the weekend by writing that nancy pelosi is a wicked witch, a sick, demented psycho. yeah. andrea, it s not surprising to see trump using that kind of
