Motherfucker WANTS to be jailed for contempt. maxsolomon Apr 24 #58
Equal justice demands we give it to him Mr.WeRP Apr 24 #60
Trump thinks it will benefit Trump. He wants to generate sympathy for his plight. maxsolomon Apr 24 #66

The Secret Service doesn't do anything without lots of planning underpants Apr 24 #8
It's a nice thought, but I doubt it. bearsfootball516 Apr 24 #9
Personally, the judge should make tRUMP do some extensive community service, one that would disgust him, SWBTATTReg Apr 24 #10

He's not going to jail on anything to do with this case. Maru Kitteh Apr 24 #12
Both Weisselberg and Cohen have gone to prison for this same crime Mr.WeRP Apr 24 #20
Neither Weisselberg nor Cohen went to prison for the "same crime" that Trump is charged with committing onenote Apr 24 #67
The judge can consider their punishments Mr.WeRP Apr 24 #68
You're right- judges consider the sentences meted out in similar cases. Trump faces a 1 in 10 chance of being imprisoned onenote Apr 24 #73
Great analysis. Another factor is Trump's behavior in front of this judge Mr.WeRP Apr 24 #74

That is priceless PatSeg Apr 24 #26
The DA didn't ask for incarceration as the penalty, so you can be fairly certain the judge won't order it. onenote Apr 24 #15
Sounds good...heard about the SS...was wondering... MiHale Apr 24 #16
I said the same thing in a comment I posted yesterday. Irish_Dem Apr 24 #17
Yes, it seems as if there is more than the surface stories Mr.WeRP Apr 24 #19
Yes but my bias is that Trump will never be jailed. Irish_Dem Apr 24 #23
I personally doubt DENVERPOPS Apr 24 #40
Unfortunately the backlash will come sooner or later. Hope22 Apr 24 #48
I agree. Irish_Dem Apr 24 #52
Like all those Trumpers flooding Manhattan to support Trump Mr.WeRP Apr 25 #75

Yes but why would Judge Merchan dither about this? Irish_Dem Apr 24 #33
MSNBC speculation that it's another delay tactic: TSF can appeal and stop the trial lindysalsagal Apr 24 #24

My guess is an increasingly large series of fines Torchlight Apr 24 #27
Judge can't exceed $1k per instance Mr.WeRP Apr 24 #29
Not sure that's accurate. He fined trump $5000 in Oct. 2023 for one offense. Torchlight Apr 24 #32
Merchan has not fined Trump anything yet Mr.WeRP Apr 24 #35
I doubt jail is the only additional option available. Torchlight Apr 24 #37
A retired judge had an excellent solution on Chris Hayes' show last night dlk Apr 24 #31

When you consider how many folks here say he will never be jailed Mr.WeRP Apr 24 #39
The SS agents who deleted their texts on January 6th should be the agents covering him in jail. kimbutgar Apr 24 #44
Throw his ass in solitary Javaman Apr 24 #47
