A New York appeals court has reinstated a gag order that barred Donald Trump from commenting about court personnel after he disparaged a law clerk in his New York civil fraud trial.
IMHO, the judge is handling him with kid gloves so that, when he’s sentenced, he will have fewer avenues for an appeal. Because he wasn’t locked up and was given small (for him) fines, he’ll have fewer opportunities to mount miscarriage of justice claims.

Edit: sentenced, not convicted.
There’s always reasons why he gets away with it. Ultimately the reason is, “justice is a joke in this country.”
He’s already convicted. This is sentencing.
He isn’t convicted of anything. This is a civil trial.
Something like “received a judgement” would be more appropriate.
Correct. Finding of fact says he’s guilty.
He was convicted one one charge. This is the trail for all the other charges. This isn’t just for sentencing.
Doh. Good catch.
