WOW, it’s finally happened! Not that it wasn’t entirely expected. Less than 48 hours after Judge Tanya Chutkan, who presiding over the latest indictments by special counsel Jack Smith, “reminded Trump it is a crime to intimidate a juror, bribe anyone or obstruct the administration of justice,” Trump has done so – twice.

The first time came on Friday when Trump posted a comment on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that was an overt threat to any variety of persons that could be associated with the case. He shouted in all caps, “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!” Let that be a warning to all of you judges, jurors, witnesses, congresspersons, and journalists. And Trump is especially mad at the prosecutors who are doing their duty to uphold the law.

However, that threat apparently didn’t satisfy Trump’s lust for blood. So on Saturday he decided to go after a specific witness in the upcoming trial, his former Vice-President, Mike Pence, who was a target for hanging by Trump’s January 6th insurrectionists. Trump yelped that…
“WOW, it’s finally happened! Liddle’ Mike Pence, a man who was about to be ousted as Governor Indiana until I came along and made him V.P., has gone to the Dark Side. I never told a newly emboldened (not based on his 2% poll numbers!) Pence to put me above the Constitution, or that Mike was ‘too honest.’ He’s delusional, and now he wants to show he’s a tough guy. I once read a major magazine article on Mike. It said he was not a very good person. I was surprised, but the article was right. Sad!”
Trump is now characterizing Pence as “a man who was about to be ousted as Governor,” and has “gone to the dark side,” a place that Trump should know well. A few days ago he said Pence was “flawed and failing.” Isn’t it comforting that this is the sort of man that Trump elevated to being once removed from the presidency? Although, he has pretty much disparaged his entire Cabinet in the same fashion. Which may be one reason that out of dozens of people who worked in the Trump administration, only four have endorsed him, and most of the others say he is unfit for office.

Trump was triggered by citations in the latest indictment wherein Trump told Pence that he was “too honest” when Pence refused to go along with Trump’s scheme to undermine democracy. And he was surely upset that that Pence was making money selling “Too Honest” t-shirts. More to the point, Trump was angry because his plot to halt the certification Joe Biden’s election by the Congress on January 6, 2021 was foiled by Pence’s “disloyalty.” That constitutionally mandated event was interrupted by the rioters that Trump incited.
Trump’s denial that he made the comment is, like most of what Trump says, hardly believable. Particularly because Pence said it in contemporaneous notes that special counsel Smith included in his indictment. So Pence made those remarks two years ago, while he was still Trump’s VP, and long before he was running for president. As reported by the Associated Press…
“The 45-page indictment is informed, in part, by contemporaneous notes that Pence kept of their conversations in the days leading up to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, as Trump tried to pressure Pence to go along with his desperate — and prosecutors say illegal — scheme to keep the two men in power.
“Among the discussions: an episode in which Trump is alleged to have told Pence that he was “too honest” for rejecting Trump’s false claims that Pence had the power to overturn the vote. “Bottom line — won every state by 100,000s of votes,” Trump said in another conversation, according to the indictment.”
Smith filed a motion on Saturday for a protective order following Trump’s first threat. The judge told the Trump camp to respond by 5:00 pm Monday. Trump’s attorneys then filed for an extension. But the judge quickly denied that.
Now this new threat may add some more spice to the ongoing melodrama. But one thing remains certain: The more Trump speaks, the more trouble he gets himself into. So we can expect more of the same going forward.

Trump is like a rabid dog and he must be restrained!
One hopes that donnie will continue to have diarrhea of the mouth, er, thumbs. Maybe he can talk the judge into gifting him with a little vacation in the slmmer…..
Same here, after all TUMP does have 2 anuses, one on his rear end and the one on his face, (His mouth) So his anus on his face is the one i also hope he keeps having diarrhea of. I want the charges against him to keep pilling up. That SOB has caused way more trouble than i could have ever imagined.
Even though it might be fun to watch him, and see how much more trouble his mouth can get him into, I think that he should be in a jail cell with no means of communicating with the outside world! One cannot just ignore what a Judge tells him not to do.
I just wish they would throw the sorry son of a bitch in jail this coming Monday.. That is what was needed to start with, This criminally insane bastard is just going to make more threats while he is running free now. In his tiny mind he thinks this Judge won’t dare mess with him, but i think that Judge is certainly not afraid of this deranged wild animal and orders him sent to jail, pending trial. I just knew his sleazy attorneys would try delay this. I am so glad the Judge refused. What’s he going to do Monday?? try to hide out in a closet or a bathroom at Mar a Lardo?? I would love to see the agents leading him in hand and leg cuffs to the back seat of a Police car, that would make my day..
John, he wants the judge recused and the venue changed to Florida. Why ask for the venue change? Because DC has a Democratic majority and Florida doesn’t (he actually said that!). Why ask for her recusal? Because she has her own mind and follows the law, not Donald Trump. She’s not like Amy Comey Barrett does.
You are EXACTLY correct, Marsha. Hardened criminals like TUMP will do anything to try to turn things in his favor. From what i have read tonight, he is not going to be successful this go around….. i am so sick of this low-life scum, i could burst open. I want to see him go to prison and ROT there. I hate and despise this SOB worse than anyone in my entire lifetime. TUMP and the stupid, ignorant, uneducated, hicks that follow him are very sick animals. They have lost what little shred of their minds they had left.
A New Hampshire MAGA crowd heckled Pence for being a traitor to the insurrection. You can’t make this stuff up.
I am surprised they didn’t have a hanging noose prepared for Pence. After all, they had one at the Capitol building at the JAN 6 Insurrection and riots. Words cannot describe these mentally deficient, brain washed MAGA scumbags that reside in all 50 states, my neighbors belong to what i just described here too.
