She’ll confiscate all of his Halloween candy when he violates the order.
Judge Chutkan means business, you see.
At least she’s not just completely spiking the case like Judge Cannon. Pretty amazing how the whole nuclear-secrets-on-the-shitter story just sank into irrelevance when it became clear he was going to skate on it.
However, details of Chutkan’s ruling were not immediately available due to an outage of the court’s system that makes filings and rulings available to the public. [From Politico]
Which means that we don't yet know if she also modified his conditions of release or modified the scope of the gag order.
CNN is reporting that the information comes as a brief entry in a docket between 6:30 PM and 7:00 PM on a Sunday.
The timing indicates that there's a "sense of urgency" about it, possibly to get it on the record before the Trump family takes the stand all week in New York, where you know there's going to be hallway commentary multiple times a day.
Stricter? I don't think it's likely that the scope of Chutkan's gag order will change. It's possible that the scope will be more specifically clarified. The real question is whether Chutkan will modify Trump's conditions of release to include this gag order. That should happen, so that when he violates it, the law states that his pre-trial release is terminated.
Note that I said "the law says" and not "he will go to detention pending trial." Because no matter what anyone says, he will never see any real consequences for anything he ever does.
As mentioned by another poster, it’s a gambling term. But when someone asks “what’s the over/under on…”, you’re kind of asking “what’s the number where there’s a 50% chance of it being either higher or lower.”
With that said, it doesn’t really make sense in this context, imo. They could have just used “chance”
I’m not sure why I used it, I don’t even know if I’ve used it in a real conversation. Felt good in the moment I guess? Maybe it was the memory of his failed casino that inspired me?
