trump. but also, logistically, it is incredibly complicated when you are talking about somebody with secret service protection, etc. where would you house that person? i think the judges are conscious of the fact that he is a candidate for president, this is the election season, and i think they're really hesitant to shut down all opportunity for his campaign. which is what it would mean if he were detained. william: i just want to read and excerpt from the gag order where he was talking about the practical implications of this. he wrote that the average observer must now, after hearing the defendant's recent attacks, draw the conclusion that if they become involved in these proceedings, even tangentially, they should worry not only for themselves, but for their loved ones as well. such concerns will undoubtedly interfere with the fair administration of justice and constitutes a direct attack on the rule of law itself. do you agree with that? mary: absolutely. i think that is why not only ha
