The first criminal trial against former and potentially future President Donald is moving forward, with Tuesday bringing us more of jury selection. As Matt covered on Monday, the trial thus far has been incredibly unfair to Trump, and not merely because it's such a weak case. Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan, who has been criticized as "a Democratic operative in a robe," won't even let Trump attend his son's high school graduation. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is no better, though, as he's looking to punish Trump for violating the unconstitutional gag order thrust upon him.
The Article 3 Project's Mike Davis called out such a move from Bragg in his many posts shared to his X account, as well as with his many media appearances. This included an appearance with Jack Posobiec, who also shared coverage from The Post Millennial. As Davis has warned before, when the gag order was first announced back in late February, "these are republic-ending tactics by these Democrats."

When news broke about Bragg looking to hold Trump in contempt, Davis laid out in detail the anti-Trump connections that the judge and his adult daughter have, referring to the gag order as "illegal, unconstitutional, and punitive," as he also warned about the use of gag orders against criminal defendants.
This applies in Trump's case in particular, with Davis writing how concerns about the gag order apply "[e]specially when this unprecedented criminal process is so clearly lawfare and election interference, to take out a political opponent in a critical presidential election year."
Davis also emphasized how this should concern all Americans. "Biden Democrats are running a corrupt process that should worry all Americans who understand a politicized and weaponized justice system will destroy our country," he warned.
"This is a criminal conspiracy by these Biden Democrat prosecutors, judges, and other attorneys to violate Trump’s civil rights," Davis continued, again repeating how "[t]hese are republic-ending tactics by these Biden Democrats" and declaring "[t]here must be severe legal, political, and financial consequences."
During his appearance on OAN, Davis made similar points about concerns with a gag order and the trial over all, especially since the gag order "is a very limited measure," and one that is actually meant to protect criminal defendants and their constitutional rights rather than punish them. Davis called such a use of the gag order "just unheard of" and warned "it turns the constitution on its head from a shield that protects us from the government, to a sword the government uses to come after us."
Davis also emphasized that "this is truly un-American to gag a criminal defendant, who has--who must have the 1st, 6th, and 14th amendment rights to speak out about the unfair politicized and weaponized process." He also noted "this is particularly true for a criminal defendant who happens to be a leading presidential candidate in the election that's coming up this year."

Speaking about the dangerous precedent this sets, Davis warned that "if they can do this to a billionaire former and likely future President of the United States, just imagine what they can do to the rest of us," adding "President Trump is simply in their way."
