Trump has the right to remain silent. But it's not happening. Quite the opposite. 


Here is a chronological account of the Protective Order Mini-Saga that began at Trump's Arraignment.


On Thursday:


When Trump was arraigned, the Judge Magistrate told him this. “It is a crime to try to influence a juror or to threaten or attempt to bribe a witness or any other person who may have information about your case, or to retaliate against anyone for providing information about your case to the prosecution, or to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice,” she said.


The judge added a warning that if he violated the conditions of release, “You may be held pending trial in this case.”


She then asked him: “Do you understand these warnings and consequences, sir?”


Trump responded, “Yes.”


On Friday, Trump posted, in caps, 'YOU GO AFTER ME, I GO AFTER YOU?"


DOJ then requested a protective order.


Trump's people say the post was meant for political rivals.


Federal Judge Tanya S. Chutkan set a Monday Deadline for Trump's attorneys to respond in court.


Trumps attorney's did respond. Then Jack Smith responded to that response.


The Judge wants to see them in the next couple of days.


Background:


Special Counsel Jack Smith requested a protective order before Trump's post. Trumps attorney's objected. This may be why the judge issued the warning.


During the discovery phase of the Trial, the Trump Team will have access to witness lists and testimony. The protective order is for witnesses and jurors.
