Didn't go far enough. He shouldn't be allowed to post a thing. That's worse than house arrest to him at this point.

I feel like they’re intentionally giving him a wide berth, so that when he inevitably violates the court-imposed restriction, the judge can turn around and say “look, I gave him as much consideration as I reasonably could, and he still violated the court’s orders, so I have no choice but to exercise punitive action”.

I positively cannot wait for the inevitable violation and consequent punitive action.

Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee signed the order banning Trump from contacting his codefendants or witnesses in the case, except through their attorneys. It also bans the former president from intimidating codefendants or witnesses in the case, including through posts on social media.

I thought witness tampering and jury intimidation were already crimes...

like parenting a 12 y.o. at this point

3...2...1...and he breaches the restrictions.

How remote are the chances that this stops him even slightly from spouting absolute nonsense into the void?

This popcorn is so frickin’ good

Who has "pending contempt charge" on their bingo card?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A judge on Monday limited former President Trump’s social media use in connection to the an indictment in Georgia that charged him with 13 counts related to his and his allies’ efforts to overturn the 2020 election in the state.

Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee signed the order banning Trump from contacting his codefendants or witnesses in the case, except through their attorneys.

“The Defendant shall perform no act to intimidate any person known to him or her to be a codefendant or witness in this case or to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice,” the order says.

This is not the first time the former president has been warned to limit his social media use and public statements in one of his ongoing legal battles.

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing Trump’s federal 2020 election case, warned both sides of the case to take “special care” to avoid making any statements that could intimidate witnesses or prejudice the jury pool earlier this month.

The former president and 18 others were charged last week in Fulton County, Ga., for their actions related to alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election in the state.

The original article contains 326 words, the summary contains 195 words. Saved 40%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

They need precedent to do anything beyond that. And Trump will give it to them within the next 24 hours.

Yeah, this time he will actually demonstrate restraint 🙄

He should be in jail and all they made him do is lower screen time?

It's like taking a phone away from a child as punishment, but the kid throws a screaming tantrum so you give it back to them.

The only thing funny he ever said on Twitter was the Diet Coke thing, it's all complaints and nonsense other than that.

So, no big loss there.

Good move by the court.

Loooooool

Uncle Sam basically grounded this motherfucker.
