Special Counsel Jack Smith added to his gag order request against President Trump ahead of Monday’s hearing.
In a Friday night filing, Jack Smith reinforced his request for a gag order against Trump by claiming the federal agents involved in Hunter Biden’s care are receiving threats.

Apparently Trump is responsible for these messages.

Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday will hold a hearing on Jack Smith’s proposed gag order.
Jack Smith mentioned the Ohio man killed in a standoff with federal agents to bolster his claims agents are in danger because of Trump’s statements about the deadly force order used during the raid.
Recall that just a few days after the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago, Ohio State Highway Patrol exchanged gunfire with an armed man attempting to break into the FBI building in Cincinnati.
The man, identified as Navy veteran Ricky Schiffer, 42, was allegedly carrying an AR-15 and shooting into the building with a nail gun.
Ricky Schiffer was killed in the standoff.
It was widely reported that Schiffer was on the radar of federal authorities for months because he may have been at the US Capitol on January 6.
The feds were investigating Schiffer not because he committed any crimes, but because he attended a pro-Trump rally at Black Lives Matter Plaza in DC on January 5.
Jack Smith used the Ricky Schiffer incident to bolster his claims that a Trump supporter attacked an FBI office in response to Trump’s comments on the Mar-a-Lago raid even though Schiffer was on the feds’ radar for months BEFORE the MAL raid.
“Shortly after the execution of the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, one of Trump’s supporters carried out an armed attack on an FBI office in the wake of Trump’s Truth Social statements regarding the search,” Jack Smith’s prosecutors wrote. “And just last week, a supporter of Trump called an FBI agent associated with the Hunter Biden case and claimed that, if Trump wins reelection, FBI agents will be thrown in jail; and if he does not win, the agents will be ‘hunt[ed] down’ and ‘slaughter[ed]’ In their own homes, after which ‘[w]e’re going to slaughter your whole f****** family.’”
President Trump’s lawyers lashed out at Jack Smith earlier this month in response to the special counsel’s second request for a gag order.
“In Jack Smith’s most recent shocking display of overreach and disregard for the Constitution, the Special Counsel’s Office asks the Court to enter an unconstitutional gag order as one of the release conditions on the leading candidate in the 2024 presidential election,” Trump’s attorneys wrote.
“Not a single FBI agent who participated in the raid submitted an affidavit, or even an argument, claiming that President Trump’s remarks put them at risk,” Trump’s attorneys wrote.
The attorneys added, “Like Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Smith seeks to restrict President Trump’s campaign speech as the first presidential debate approaches at the end of this month.”
Earlier this month Jack Smith filed a motion seeking another gag order on Trump related to his statements on law enforcement over the Biden DOJ’s deadly force policy during the Mar-a-Lago raid.
Armed FBI agents were prepared to confront Trump at Mar-a-Lago according to previously unsealed documents.
The FBI had a medic on the scene and identified a local trauma center for anyone “injured” during the FBI raid.
“Law enforcement officers of the Department of Justice may use deadly force only when necessary, that is, when the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person,” the document on the use of deadly force read.
Judge Cannon last month indefinitely postponed the classified documents case after Special Counsel Jack Smith admitted to tampering with evidence.
The Judge vacated the May 20, 2024 trial date. It may be several months until Judge Cannon sets a new trial date.

Republican Senator Rand Paul was on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo on Sunday to discuss the Trump verdict and what it means for America.
“What is your reaction to the conviction?” Maria Bartiromo asked.
“You know, a sad day in America. And what I worry about is something even bigger than Donald Trump. I worry about strife. I worry about war in the streets. I worry about 50 percent of the public believing that the court system will be used against them,” Senator Rand Paul said.
“I worry when half the country thinks they won’t be treated fairly, what happens and how people react,” Senator Paul continued.
Senator Paul also pointed out the inconsistencies of how Hillary Clinton was treated in the past as compared to President Trump.
“If you look at records violations and you look at Hillary Clinton, $8 million expense, and they slapped her on the wrist cause she got an $8 thousand fine,” Senator Paul continued.
“I think Donald Trump is the only person ever prosecuted for this particular crime,” Senator Paul said.

President Trump was found “guilty” on May 30th in only what can be described as a sham trial in a kangaroo court, with one of the most corrupt judges in the entire country presiding over it, Juan Merchan.
Trump will win this on appeal.
This trial has been a complete and total mockery of the rule of law; due process; the constitution; and the criminal justice system.
Absolutely disgraceful!

Pamela Price, the district attorney in Oakland, California who was elected with backing from George Soros, is going to face a recall vote in November.
Crime has gotten so out of control in Oakland that multiple businesses such as In and Out Burger have fled the city in recent months.
Price is a supporter of the ‘social justice’ approach to law enforcement that has unleashed massive crime problems in multiple American cities.
The Oaklandside reports:
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price will face recall election in November
Oakland voters, mark your calendars. The question of whether or not Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price should be allowed to fill out the rest of her term will be decided on Nov. 5, 2024.
The county Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to consolidate the recall with the general election, which will include local, state, and federal races and ballot measures. Supervisors Lena Tam and David Haubert attended part of the meeting but were excused before the vote.
Proponents of the recall wanted the county to hold a special election this summer that would solely feature the recall question. County staff have said this would cost around $15-20 million, factoring in expenses for hundreds of election workers, printing ballots and election materials, postage, and setting up vote centers. In comparison, the cost of adding the recall question to the November general election ballot will be $4 million…
“We need justice for our babies, and actually nothing is going to change if Pamela Price is still in office,” said Brenda Angulo, whose 15-year-old son Erick Portillo was murdered in Hayward last year. “I don’t understand why it’s an issue economically.”
Price is vowing to fight the recall.
From Mercury News:
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price goes on offensive, vows to defeat recall effort
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price went on the offensive Wednesday, vowing to prevail against a well-heeled recall attempt that will be decided on a packed November presidential election ballot…
Backed by more than a dozen supporters holding signs proclaiming “Protect the Win,” Price framed the recall campaign as a bid to “overturn” the results of the 2022 election, during which she became the first Black woman to serve as Alameda County’s top prosecutor.
If the people of Oakland want things to change, they need to vote this woman out of office, and it can be done.
