"Prosecutor to Trump: Shut Up or Face Gag Order From Russia Probe Special Counsel"
https://www.yahoo.com/news/prosecutor-trump-shut-face-gag-170248540.html?.tsrc=jtc_news_indexTom Porter, Newsweek•November 4, 2017
Special Counsel Robert Mueller could gag President Donald Trump if he criticizes and attempts to influence the investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump camp and Russia, according to a Watergate prosecutor.
The president lashed out at George Papadopoulos on Tuesday, after court records revealed that the former campaign aide pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI – indicating that he is cooperating with Mueller’s investigation.
Attorney Nick Akerman, a prosecutor in the Watergate investigations, told Politico Friday that Mueller could issue a gagging order to prevent the president interfering with the investigation.
He warned that the president had defamed a potential government witness who is likely to be called in a federal trial. “This could be grounds for Mueller to obtain a gag order on Trump,” Akerman said. “It would be unprecedented, but he is interfering with the government’s right to a fair trial.”

I want him to sink. IMO, his twitter is also going to help. The more he talks, the easier it gets.
