The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.

This evening Judge Tanya Chutkan rejected Trump’s appeal of his gag order, meaning the gag order is back in effect. Trump responded by making a rage fueled social media post acknowledging that he knew the gag order had been reinstated, then began attacking trial witness Bill Barr.
To be clear, this isn’t just a violation of the gag order, it’s also felony witness tampering. Just as it was felony witness tampering when Trump attacked witness Mark Meadows over the weekend. It didn’t matter that the gag order was temporarily stayed at the time, its felony witness tampering either way.
Trump just keeps playing right into Jack Smith’s hands. Smith can use these attacks to get Trump’s pretrial privileges further reduced. He can use these attacks as evidence at trial. And if Smith believes he can get a conviction for felony witness tampering, he’ll tack on those charges – thus helping to ensure that Trump gets convicted on something at trial.
We’re going to continue hearing endless doomsday hysteria on TV and social media about how Trump is “getting away with it all” with these antics. But that’s the precise opposite of how things work in the real world. Trump is now very aggressively digging his own legal grave in these cases.
