To be fair, I don’t think the gag order included attacking the judge

    As I understand it, it reduces the chances of an appeal if they don’t include themselves in the gag order.

      Yeah that’s definitely what they’re going for. It just seems like a huge overcorrection. There is way too high of a chance that somebody gets killed by one of Trump’s supporters. What appeals court is going to throw out a conviction because the judge tried to protect themselves and the prosecution from political violence instigated by the defendant?
