Trump Could Be Imprisoned Before A Trial Even Starts Amid Political Persecution

With the unsurprising notion that a Manhattan judge could issue a gag order against the 45th President of the United States Donald Trump during Tuesday’s proceedings, some commentators have posed the scenario that if that were to occur, Trump could be imprisoned long before a trial even begins.

The analysis seems to stem from a Daily Mail report citing an unnamed source saying,

“The Trump legal team now thinks that the Manhattan judge will take the unprecedented step of silencing the presidential frontrunner with an unconstitutional gag order tomorrow.”

“The Trump legal team is considering adding a First Amendment lawyer to the effort to combat this and will fight it all the way,” the source added according to The Mail.

Glenn Beck told his national radio audience on The Glenn Beck Program, “If a gag order is issued against Trump, that would mean a presidential candidate wouldn’t be allowed to defend himself from the media’s slander. That’s INSANITY.”

Jack Davis writing for The Western Journal suggested that Trump could be confronted with a choice: remain quiet or go to jail. He wrote, “Trump’s legal team expects that Trump will be hit with a gag order from state Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, sitting in Manhattan, as part of the legal proceedings against him now that he has been indicted.”

Davis cited former federal prosecutor Duncan Levin who noted that a gag order was “not only a possibility, but it’s extremely likely,” to Business Insider.

“He is a criminal defendant and, you know, we see hundreds of thousands of criminal defendants across the country every day who have a lot of rights stripped away from them, and he is now one of them. These proceedings are going to change his life,” Levin said.

Conversely, Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba argued to Fox News Jesse Watters that if the Judge puts a gag order on Trump, the case is sure to be thrown out.

Tim Pool of Timcast darkly suggested though, “Now Donald Trump does get arrested charged, and goes to jail I don’t think they’ll ever let him out. They’re gonna do what they did to Julian Assange to Donald Trump.”

“They’re gonna lock him up and make sure he can’t do anything,” he added.
