Via David Lurie:

Tuberville is a bad co-conspirator.

Tommy Tuberville admits on Newsmax that "one of the reasons he went" to NYC yesterday was to "overcome this gag order"

Here is Trump this morning calling them his surrogates. Then Mike Johnson helping Trump violate his by attacking the Judge's daughter @JustJen @GottaLaff @atrupar

Mr. Trump are you directing surrogates to speak on your behalf? Mr. Trump will you testify? I do have a lot of surrogates and they are speaking very beautifully and they come all from from all over Washington and they're highly respected and they think this is the greatest scam they've ever seen and some are Democrats they're very embarrassed by what's going on. Then Mike Johnson And meanwhile along the uh among the atrocities here the judge's own daughter is making millions of dollars doing online fundraising for Democrats.

This morning Trump was asked about his surrogates,
"I do have a lot of surrogates and they are speaking very beautifully and they come all from from all over Washington and they're highly respected and they think this is the greatest scam they've ever seen and some are Democrats they're very embarrassed by what's going on."

Later #MikeJohnson talked about Judge Merchan's daughter.

Johnson is a lawyer & Speaker of the House. He knows exactly what he is doing.

@dave Interesting point.
Please help me out here. THIS IS A USE of surrogates to evade the #GagOrder.
Did #Trump direct them to do this?
Rick Scott was asked, he said Trump did not tell him to say this.

So, can any action be taken by the DA?
I do NOT want to suggest that prosecuting someone who violated a #GagOrder with
"prosecuting those who make statements criticizing a legal process"
How best can we talk about this to the media and public?

@GreenFire Great point! "I suppose that they are counting on the Speech and Debate Clause to protect them from contempt of court charges,"
Exactly. Johnson is a lawyer. All would have consulted with counsel on this issue. They know how to "walk the line" & how to challenge objections to what they said, "They're trying to silences ME TOO!"
Remember, this is not just about winning in the "court of law" this is about winning with social media, RW media & MSM to send out a message

From Kaitlan Collins
Notable moment in court today where the judge told the defense he could hear Trump cursing:

Judge Merchan: "I understand that your client is upset at this point, but he is cursing audibly, and he is shaking his head visually and that's contemptuous...I am speaking to you here at the bench because I don't want to embarrass him."

This is and it needs to stop.

Justice Merchan called ’s lawyer to a sidebar to say Trump was “cursing audibly” & possibly intimidating Daniels... “I understand your client is upset at this pt, but he is cursing audibly & shaking his head visually & that’s contemptuous. It has the potential to intimidate the witness & the jury can see that...I am speaking to you here at the bench because I don’t want to embarrass him. You need to speak to him. I won’t tolerate that.”

Trump's a lying coward. He didn't break the today that I know of. He made a point of avoiding it, in fact... so far.

If he were really willing to be a martyr, he would have made sure he was in jail by now by bashing the jury. He's doing this to rile up his base, but he does NOT want to be in jail.

@darthstar @GottaLaff @atrupar
Trump knows what he is doing. He is claiming the which includes "narrowly tailored restrictions" on what he, as a defendant out on pretrial release in a felony case, can say means he can't "say anything."

He's lying about what the gag order is, what it covers and what he can and can't say.

gonna try using "friends, please come say hello and tell me what you think" to get lawmakers' attention as they're leaving caucus this week
(He was referring to a line used by Peggy Noonan during her visit to Columbia before the raid.)
My response:
Good luck! Write a column about how it!
Peggy Noonan didn't REALLY want to know what the protesters thought. Her comment was the equivalent of this guys' ploy to keep the seat next to him empty.
