Steve Benen is a producer for 'The Rachel Maddow Show,' the editor of MaddowBlog and an MSNBC political contributor. He's also the bestselling author of 'The Impostors: How Republicans Quit Governing and Seized American Politics.'

Donald Trump has an unfortunate habit, which I like to call “preemptive delegitimization.” The way it works is relatively simple: When there’s even a possibility that the former president might be held accountable for alleged wrongdoing, the Republican goes to ridiculous lengths to undermine public confidence in the process, the officials, and the institutions.

” Joyce Vance, a former federal prosecutor and an MSNBC legal analyst, noted online soon after, “A full jury isn’t even sworn in and he’s already coming for them.” It is, to be sure, awfully tough to defend the suspected felon’s latest antics, but it was the local prosecutor’s reference to the gag order this morning that was of particular interest. A few weeks ago, as my MSNBC colleague Jordan Rubin explained, Judge Juan Merchan imposed a gag order on Trump.
