Judge Juan Merchan has found former President Donald Trump in contempt for violating the gag order in his hush money trial for the 10th time and said he’ll consider jail time going forward.
And in this specific case to be able to prove it wasn’t out of spite they have to be able to prove that Trump was given the opportunity to learn from his mistakes. They could send him to jail right away, all that would lead to is their neutrality being questioned and a high risk of the trial being pushed back to a later date or cancelled altogether and the judge could say “I was being neutral” all they wanted, the end result would be worse than if they just wait until they reach a point where their neutrality cannot be questioned.
So again, I will ask, would you rather see Trump spend a weekend in jail and the trial ending or would you rather see Trump being fined and the trial reaching its conclusion?
These are the choices we’re presented with right now, not the unicorn world you live in where Trump spends the weekend in jail after one offense and the trial then goes on as intended.
There is only one code of law that applies to this case and it states that the judge can either impose a fine of maximum 1k for each count or jail the person, so the judge is doing exactly what the code of law allows them to do.
You’re still not answering the question.
Jail for the weekend at the risk of seeing him go scot-free OR fines and you’re sure the trial reaches its conclusion?
So you’re ok with Trump just going in jail for the weekend, alright.
If you think there’s a risk of witness and jury dying then what the fuck do you think will happen if he spends a weekend held in contempt? You think things will calm down after that and his base will go “Yeah, he deserved that”???
So you’re okay with terrorism.
Oh look, I can play that game too! The process is meant for the judge to be neutral. Any other position risks the validity of the trial.
Your argument flies in the face of justice.

Total bullshit.
Trump has been warned ad nauseam in this one case alone. If he’s that unable to follow simple directions… he’s mentally unfit to stand trial.
Pretending like he needs to get fined for contempt before being locked up is an egregious affront to the justice system.
Literally no one else would be allowed such leeway; and there is only one code of law- it applies to everyone or it’s a joke.
That trump was ever allowed to make the judge’s own daughter a victim of terrorism… raise severe questions.

You didn’t answer mine but demand I answer yours ? Are you okay with witnesses and jury dying because of the terrorism?
To answer yours… let me ask another. What happens if the case is lost because of the blatant witness tampering? Same result.
