Trump’s Impeachment Lawyer: Keep Him Gagged

“The case isn’t over until the sentencing is heard and sentence is imposed. I have absolutely no problem, frankly, with the prosecutors’ real concern about safety.

“And look, there are wingnuts out there in the period of time between now and when the trial court’s role in this case ends.

“I don’t think it’s worth taking the chance that anybody could do harm to any of the court personnel, the judge’s staff, most importantly, the judge, and certainly the district attorney and his staff.

“My view of that is better safe than sorry. And so, any gag order that would help lend itself to calming the temperature here and getting us safely through this proceeding, I think is the right course.” – Robert Ray, who defended Trump at his first impeachment trial.
