“Quite Significant” – Jonathan Turley Weighs in on Freeze on Trump Gag Order (VIDEO)
By Cristina Laila Nov. 4, 2023 12:00 pmConstitutional law expert Jonathan Turley Friday night reacted to a decision by a federal appeals court to freeze a gag order on President Trump temporarily.
“They could have left it to continue, to continue while they reviewed it, but, they decided perhaps in an abundance of caution to order this stoppage until they can give it a full review,” Turley said on Fox News Friday night. “The reason I think this could be quite significant is because I think the order is unconstitutional.”
“I said that when it was first issued. It’s a very odd concept of an order because the court here insisted on having this trial before the election, sort of shoehorned it in before Super Tuesday,” Turley added. “And everyone in this election is going to be talking about these cases, except one person under this gag order and that is Donald Trump.”
Turley continued, “He can’t criticize the prosecutors, he can’t criticize witnesses, and special counsel Jack Smith just asked for this order to be expanded in an equally unconstitutional way and that has drawn the criticism even of the ACLU, which is a staunch critic of Donald Trump, but the ACLU has said look, this is flagrantly unconstitutional.”

Looks to me as if the gag order may be vacated or diminished.
