2. Assuming you're talking about PO1135809,

it's because jurisprudence doesn't check American constitutional 1A rights or mics outside the courthouse door. Only inside.

Meiselas and Legal AF know that it has to be proven that his (anyone's) communications foment/incite violence -- and the only way that can be proven is for cameras to actually see violent perpetrators say that P01135809 called them to assault others or be violent.

He can only be gagged if Judge Chutkan orders it within the parameters of his bond bail. He might be sanctioned for railing against Judge Engoron and AG James, but we'll have to wait and see on that.

This is a civil trial. Different rules. Regardless.
In any of his court venues, a MUTE -- meaning "gag order, penalties, jail" could overturn P01135809's whole trial. It's that simple.

If the courts do what you want, you will get P01135809 exactly what he wants -- a mistrial. Delay. Coming out as the champion in his war against rule of law.
