50/ Klasfeld:
Justice Merchan: "That suggests because the people or the court do not take action for every single violation," that the gag order is waived.
Blanche: "That's not what we're saying."
👉🏼The judge says that is what the defense is saying.

51/ Klasfeld:
Blanche: "It's not making a mockery of the gag order, your honor. It's a close call."
Blanche says that "reposting an article from a news site" or "a news program" doesn't violate the gag order.
Justice Merchan asks him where the case law supports that.
🤦🏻♀️😂"I don't have any case law," Blanche says, calling the proposition "common sense."
52/ McB:
😂 #WompWomp 👉🏼If you can't tell from my live tweets so far, this contempt hearing doesn't seem to be going well for the defense.
Blanche mentions two potential violations that the DA didn't bring up.
That suggests that somehow the people or the court does not take action on a violation, that the gag order is waived, that's just silly, 👈🏼Merchan says. That doesn't negate the validity of the gag order.
