Andrew Weissmann: 就检察官要求限制特朗普公开评论一事,Weissmann认为这并非完全意义上的'禁言令',而是基于华盛顿特区地方刑事规则57条,旨在限制可能损害证人、陪审员或司法程序的言论。他认为法官会采取渐进式措施,并参考了此前Amy Berman Jackson法官处理Roger Stone案件的先例。关于特朗普要求法官Chutkan回避的动议,Weissmann认为这是荒谬的,因为特朗普一直试图破坏司法机构的公正性。他认为法官不太可能回避,并预测任何上诉都将被驳回。在讨论杰弗里·克拉克试图将案件移交联邦法院的努力时,Weissmann认为克拉克可能无法证明自己拥有有效的联邦抗辩理由,因此他的努力可能会失败。他还强调了政府在法律诉讼中应该坚持最佳法律论点的重要性,即使这不利于其当前的案件。 Mary McCord: McCord也认为检察官要求限制特朗普言论并非'禁言令',而是基于华盛顿特区地方刑事规则57条,旨在防止特朗普的言论损害证人、陪审员或司法程序。她详细解释了该规则的适用范围和政府动议的谨慎措辞。关于特朗普要求法官回避的动议,McCord认为该动议缺乏充分理由,法官不太可能回避。她引用了Watergate时期的案例作为先例,并指出法官在审理案件过程中发表的评论通常不被视为回避的理由。在讨论杰弗里·克拉克的案件移交请求时,McCord认为,虽然克拉克可能在证明其行为属于职权范围方面有一定论据,但他可能无法证明自己拥有有效的联邦抗辩理由。她还讨论了政府在法律诉讼中的角色,强调政府律师应该坚持最佳法律论点,即使这不利于其当前的案件。
