Wasn't Toobin caught jerking off during a Zoom meeting? I only bring it up because he's always been a cringe establishment creep who's analysis and opinions I've felt comfortable completely ignoring.
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.”
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 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.
