      Most likely $1,000 per violation, or $3,000. Seems like a cheap cost to slander and intimidate witnesses against you.

        Probably. That’s all the prosecution proposed, and Merchan would show bias if he raised the stakes. Merchan will likely propose a steeper fine for future violations.

          I believe you’re right. It’s pretty ridiculous how cheap it is, though. They really ought to bring charges for witness tampering and intimidation, but I doubt that will happen.

          I’d like to see the fine double per incident.

        Jail up to 30 days per incident is possible, but realistically it needs to be gradually assessed after fines first

        And stinky diaper man-child is really hoping for a couple of days jail time he can fund raise off

        To add: someone had the brilliant idea to sentence him to 40 hours community service in liew of 30 days jail time

        Oh to see that fucker wearing an orange jumpsuit, picking up trash by the side of the road!

          I would imagine the judge admonishes him and threatens jail time for the next offense. But I agree with you, the man-baby wants to be thrown in jail so he can cry about how unfair it all is.

        Yeah, New York caps contempt charges at $1000 per violation, and/or up to 30 days in jail. And no judge wants to be the first one to throw him in jail for contempt. So he just keeps getting small fines which he is (at least on paper, but that’s what the entire trial is focused on) easily capable of paying.

          How many bibles does he need to sell for each contempt charge?

      Yeah fucking weird for him to discuss violating a gag order on social media when he was using similar tools to be a creepy flasher sex pest.

        My point wasn’t that it’s weird for him to discuss anything, but that it’s odd that anyone would want to listen to him, or take him seriously.

        There’s plenty of other legal commentators who’ve made the same point, and they have the added benefit of not being bootlicking sex pests.

    TL;DR

    Toobin says the following is a violation:

    Trump’s post, quoting a Fox News host, reads: “’They are catching undercover Liberal Activists lying to the Judge in order to get on the Trump Jury,’ Jesse Watters.”

    I’m sure if they keep slapping his wrists enough he’ll eventually start to get some wrist strain or possibly even some light bruising.

    Reposting an AI generated video of Trump saying he is dumb as fuck is hardly being an activist. Dude’s cloaca hurts so bad from those memes.
