“It appears … that multiple employees at the Department of Justice may have violated Local Criminal Rule 23.1, and this Court’s order of April 25, 2025 specifically identifying the strictures of this rule,” U.S. District Judge Margaret M. Garnett wrote in her order on September 24 in response to the letter.

The rule stipulates that “non-lawyer personnel employed by a lawyer’s office or subject to a lawyer’s supervision” in a criminal case have a duty not to release an “opinion that a reasonable person would expect to be disseminated by means of public communication” if there is a chance that the opinion will “interfere with a fair trial or otherwise prejudice the due administration of justice.”

    Riots? I highly doubt that. Most people are in the “I ain’t saying I agree with it, but I get it” camp.

      If he gets off on a technicality and trump says fuck it and locks him up or even executes him anyway…

      There’d 100% be riots.

      Because there would be peaceful protesters, and cops would instigate violence, likely on direct order from Adams/trump

      Don’t forget about how the NYC mayor is an ex cop who stopped being a Dem and is trying to pivot maga.

      Shit is not going to end well.

        Trump deported people without a trial, threatens the press, protected pedophiles and all that happened was people said mean things. Do you REALLY believe that there would be riots over sending one single person who may have actually killed someone?

          Yeah…

          That’s why I said it explicitly and further elaborated…

            It was a rhetorical question. I wasn’t really expecting a yes or no answer. The cops have already instigated violence and still nothing happens. Nothing ever happens. Not just the US. Everyone holds any semblance of hope until the very last moment. I think the riots will come when / if he skips elections. Until then, peoe will not want to risk their lives for something they hope can just go away when the term ends

      And the reason you believe this is because there is no online platform where you can say “I support this” without getting permabanned.

      I’m not saying you aren’t coming across this a lot, but stop and consider the fact that it’s the most extreme opinion Americans are allowed to have online.

        Correct. I got banned from Reddit for saying it was technically self defense and that he was also defending the populace from a mass murderer.

        Well, I did post stuff like that and “eat the rich” a lot. Regardless … the powers that be are scared that this happened. If this gets nullified it could mean an open hunting season on unethical CEOs.
