Trump's team issued a statement on Saturday saying Trump's post had nothing to do with Special Counsel Jack Smith.
Lawyer Tristan Snell highlighted the DOJ's request for a protective order, and commented:"DOJ should go MUCH further and order Trump off social media — and into jail."
Podcaster and former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann also shared Trump's Truth Social post and wrote:"This violates the terms of his release. No name is mentioned; none is. He's threatening the Justice department, the special counsel, the judges, the president." "Revoke Trump's release and detain him until trial. He is the most dangerous terrorist in this country," Olbermann said.bestselling author Thom Hartmann.
"Like Hitler in the 1920s, it will make him a major martyr and gain him support. This is why he's trying to provoke Smith and the judge. He can easily do 20 or 30 days in jail, He'll have his Secret Service and plenty of comforts. It's not like he'd be locked up with general population. And the benefit he'll derive from it will be huge, politically," Hartmann said.
Civil rights attorney Scott Hechinger wrote:"Every prosecutor prosecuting or judge overseeing any of the thousands of people I represented as a public defender would *immediately* move to remand them if they said anything approaching what Trump just posted here."
