Merchan threatens Trump with jail time for next gag order violation

NEW: Judge Merchan addresses Trump directly regarding his continued violations of the gag order-
“It appears that the 1,000 fines are not serving as a deterrent.”
“The last thing I want to do is to put you in jail. You are the former president of the United States, and possibly the next president as well.”
“There are many reasons why incarceration is truly a last resort for you.”
“To take that step would be disruptive to the proceedings”
“But at the end of the day, I have a job to do”
“The magnitude of such a decision is not lost on me.”

This would be a criminal contempt charge. As such, he would be violating his bail agreements in his other three cases meaning he could be locked up in pre-trial detention. It's risky on his part. Better for him if he doesn't get another violation. To be locked up until the Atlanta trial or, even worse, until the Supremes decide on immunity in the other two cases would pretty much end any campaigning he could do until the election.
Most people here would prefer he be out and about for the rest of the year rather than locked up.

Merchan would be giving Trump EXACTLY what he wants. If this is not political ( it is) then throwing him in jail only increases both Trump's poll numbers and increases the perception that this is all about politics. He would do better to let Trump run off at the mouth.

My god, you can't even criticize a jury and court officials in a criminal trial anymore? It's outrageous.
It's not like anyone would actually get put in jail for 10+ counts of criminal contempt in any other trial.

I wish he would..... Let's see what happens.

Yeah he has a job to follow the instructions of the people in DC calling the shots.

What specifically did Trump say that caused this ruling? What was the substance of the contempt?

it is hereby decreed by Judge Demon central casting 666 with effeminate weirdo eyebrows.
I think that if Trump is jailed ...
Turtle, Paul Ryan, & Romney have a meeting with champaign as the RNC announces clause 7dash one niner fjb-117(a) that no person shall be the nominee for President if they have been put in jail.

There's not a whole lot more they can do to prove this is a persecution not a prosecution, but jailing Trump would be one of those things.

I doubt he’ll do it. Logistics would be difficult, and if he does it he will have to answer to all the wackos when Trump wins in a landslide.

And this his why you don’t prosecute a politician on frivolous charges, and double down by muzzling him.
Merchan can put this on Trump - but he and Bragg opened the door.
