But the Executive Branch has freedom of speech just as much as the defense attorneys. It would be unfair to muzzle the Executive branch, yet allow the defense attorneys to go on TV regularly like they did. Furthermore, it's the Judiciary's duty to protect the process, not the Executor. If the judge felt that outside comments were "perverting the process", she could have placed a gag order on the case.
