As it turns out, this is exactly what Trump did. His social media post was aggressive, but did not mention the court staff.
One thing that makes Trump's case different is that the witnesses in his case are also public figures.
This matters because cases like New York Times v. Sullivan give different standards for when speech about public figures can be restricted.
