Andrew Rice claimed on Tuesday that he spotted former President Donald Trump "editing" the speeches his allies made outside of the courtroom.

Some context:

Former Trump White House Communications Director Michael Dubke suggested on CNN Tuesday that Trump had mobilized his allies and proxies to the courthouse in an effort to “get around the gag order” imposed on him by Judge Merchan.

Yep. He’s trying to violate the gag order indirectly. Unfortunately for him, the gag order specifically includes attempting to have surrogates violate the order on his behalf.

I suspect there’s another gag order hearing incoming.

    “It’s not an 11th violation of the gag order! It’s the first time he violated the gag order in this way. That automatically restarts the count!” – Trump’s lawyers, probably.

    80/20 odds says this judge goes with it so he doesn’t actually have to punish Trump.

    That’s a witness to criminal contempt of court. The prosecution should get this guy to swear to his hat he saw under oath so Trump can spend some time in prison for his games.

    Edit: I’m not fixing that typo, let him swear to his hat.

        I am totally blanking on what he actually meant there.

        Swear to his…god? Heart? I feel like I’m missing something really stupidly more obvious.

          Honestly having Trump swear on one of his stupid red hats with MAGA would probably be the equivalent to his version of swearing on the Bible. After all, his word is gospel to his mouth breathing cult.
