Appearing on MSNBC on Thanksgiving weekend, former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner stated that judges are getting fed up with assertions made by lawyers for Donald Trump trying to forestall gag orders that would bar him from launching attacks on prosecutors, judges and courthouse employees.

Speaking with host Katie Phang about a new motion made over Thanksgiving by the Department of Justice to rein in the former president, Kirschner claimed the arguments made by Trump's lawyers that he can't be held responsible for violent threats aimed at his targets by his supporters isn't going to fly with judges much longer.

"I sat through the argument earlier this week in the D.C. Court of Appeals case, regarding the constitutionality of the gag order and there was discussion about what was going on in other jurisdictions," Kirschner explained. "Similarly, Judge [Tanya] Chutkan was presiding over the trial in Donald Trump's case, has regularly talked about what's going on in other jurisdictions."

"So I think this evidence will probably be accepted by the appellate court and Donald Trump's lawyers, as recently as yesterday, filed their reply and they continue to ask the judges to just check your common sense at the door," he continued. "You don't need to bring it with you to bear on this issue. One thing stood out about the letter that Trump's team filed yesterday; they say, again, Mr. Trump did not directly threaten [Judge Arthur Engoron clerk] Miss Greenfield. That is the broken peg on which they continue to try to hang their legal argument."

"The good news, Katie, is in court on Monday, Judge Patricia Millett directly knocked that down," he elaborated, "She said, and I quote, 'there is a clear pattern here.' Donald Trump issued a statement, and witnesses get threatened. So, I think the judges are beyond this nonsensical claim that Donald Trump just says things that are hyper-critical of the witnesses who are expected to testify against them, and he should bear no sort of consequences when his supporters instantly rise to his call and begin intimidating, threatening, and harassing the witnesses."

The Colorado Supreme Court agreed to consider appeals in a case over whether former President Donald Trump should be barred from the state’s 2024 primary ballot. The Denver-based court Tuesday scheduled oral argument for Dec. 6.

The case stems from a lawsuit filed by six Colorado voters who argue that Trump is disqualified from office under a Civil War-era insurrection clause in the 14th Amendment due to his involvement in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Both parties appealed a Denver District Court decision from earlier this month that said Trump should be placed on Colorado’s March presidential primary ballot.
