Edit: please pay attention to the first two words of this headline. We don’t actually know if Trump received a target letter, he could be lying out of his ass to mess with the investigation.

    I think there’s also an element of not doing gag orders on him unless vital as he’d likely break them anyway

    Imagine if we handled bank robberies this way, “Oh, they’re just gonna keep trying to take the money, you should just give it to them”

    use any enforcement action as a call to action to his supporters

    He’s already been issuing that call since before he was indicted. The obvious answer is to throw him in a jail cell and limit his communications to just his attorneys. We do this to suspected criminals every day and it’s absolutely warranted here.

    Also, he should draw a charge for intimidating witnesses for all of this.

    He does also do a very good job in giving prosecutors evidence against him when they just let him talk.

    I guess we just have to hope that evidence isn’t the dead body of some poor person Trump convinces one of his idiot followers to kill, huh?

    e; me bad at make words sound good and stuff

      I didn’t say I agreed with the no gag order tactics. Just speculating why. I agree with you wholeheartedly on the dangers of letting him sling his angry mob at people.
