Wow. Kyle Cheney 🧵 1/…
This #Trump post about Mark #Meadows is like a checklist of things barred by the (now-suspended) #GagOrder:
1) Direct attack on #JackSmith
2) Calling cooperators “weaklings” and “cowards”
3) Commenting on the substance of Meadows (a known witness’) testimony
Worth noting Trump almost surely has seen Mark Meadows’ grand jury transcript at this point. It’s part of discovery. #legal #TrumpIndictment
2/ #Chutkan didn’t explicitly add attacks on DC venire to gag order because she said they were covered by previous court orders and Trump’s pretrial restriction.
DOJ is due to argue today why the gag order should be reimposed while Trump appeals it. This is sure to be exhibit A.
And I suspect they (and perhaps Chutkan) would consider this a violation of his pretrial conditions prohibiting witness tampering even absent the gag order.
3/ Via Angry Staffer:
Even with the gag order being stayed, this blatant witness tampering shouldn’t be allowed to stand.
Jesus Christ.
@ozoned Aw, very sorry, that must sound confusing.

Proof that a cornered animal will lash out
@GottaLaff
Keith Olberman's Countdown podcast yesterday put it succinctly (Link below). Trump is crazy. He has been since early childhood. "Crazy" is a non-technical, nonprofessional term, of course, but it makes the point. He is a cornered rat. Treating this creature like a normal human is like negotiating with a hungry great white shark. We need a bigger boat!
Time to LOCK HIM UP!
Let the magas riot and lock them up too. We are Nero fiddling while Rome burns.
“Countdown With Keith Olbermann,” the landmark news and commentary program that reordered the world of cable news, returns as a daily podcast. Olbermann’s daily news-driven mix will include his trademark “Special Comment” political analysis, the tongue-in-cheek “Worst Persons In The World” segment, and his timeless readings from the works of the immortal James Thurber. The man who turned SportsCenter into a cultural phenomenon will broaden the content to include a daily sports segment, a daily call for help for a suffering dog, and a remarkable series of anecdotes covering a career that stretched from covering the 1980 Olympic Miracle on Ice a month after his 21st birthday, to anchoring the 2009 Presidential Inauguration and the 2009 Super Bowl pre-game show in a span of just twelve days, to rejoining ESPN as a “rookie” baseball play-by-play man at the age of 59.
