Donald Trump was fined $10,000 on Wednesday after the New York judge overseeing his civil fraud trial said the former U.S. president violated a gag order for a second time.
The Judge is building a history of contempt charges for the record. Once he has a few more violations he can then throw him in jail and continue with the case.
Just throwing Trump in jail on his first offense means he could use this during his appeal. Having a history of contempt charges before he is out in jail makes it harder to win on appeal.
his defense and his followers call for an mistrial on bias.
They will anyway. Is this really the hill we are going to die on? After 8(?) years of this shit are we really going to keep spouting this rhetoric?
Trump has proven that he intends to keep violating gag orders. So it is not only clean but perfectly within the judicial systems legal power to imprison him. There’s no need to build a case here. Just do it.

He could throw him in jail, but he won’t.
And if he does, his defense and his followers call for an mistrial on bias.
They NEED the case to go through clean
