(3,641 posts)the judges for not putting this insane criminal behind bars for gag order violations that would cause any other ordinary schmuck to be sent to jail.

Themselves included

Shame on them.
They trying sound tough but then they totally do nothing because they too are afraid of Trump's mobs.

(2,238 posts)The judge loves, like a family member, that gets hurt or killed. Its a shame.
Irish_Dem
(48,140 posts)Trump attacked one judge's law clerk and another judge his daughter.
Then the judges finally did their jobs.
So they didn't care about the witnesses or the jury until it got personal.
Because thats where this is leading.

(42,870 posts)The gag order doesn't restrict him from commenting on the judge or the judge's family. Merchan might decide to amend the gag order, but unless and until he does, there is nothing to stop Trump from commenting on the judge's daughter.

(6,580 posts)it is easy to see that any Judge is going to exclude himself from the order. That way, he cannot be accused of unfair gag orders. Of course, he'd like to rap tRump upside the head for his vile spewing forth of inciteful rhetoric, but I don't think he can. The gag order was requested by Bragg awhile back, apparently, and I think it was acted on immediately after the first nasty post. I see it as protecting the Jury. So, I don't think this Judge has let anybody down. We all knew it was coming, and approximately what form it would take. It's not a surprise.
The only thing I don't like is having to watch it graduated into successive fines, or something like that. You can bet that J. Merchan is keeping track. I think it is a huge mistake for a guy to badger the Judge in a criminal trial. J. Merchan holds the keys to his jail cell. He isn't going to suddenly back down and cower in front of Trump. That leaves Trump followers to do something truly dumb and/or dangerous. And then Trump gets to play innocent.
It's really odd to watch this rerun of prior trial tactics. Everyone is wise to it. Trump thinks he can threaten his way out of a jail cell. We will see.

Why is this deplorable dangerous PoS con given so many effing passes. ENOUGH!

(3,952 posts)Why bother with trials and expensive legal arrangements for them that are never going to take place?
ProfessorGAC
(65,466 posts)...to cover jurors, attorneys, court personnel, & witnesses. The judge did not cover himself or his family.
So, loathsome as that post is (along with the idiot who posted it), I don't think it violates the gag Order.
Now, if he can't help himself & mentions prosecutors or witnesses, he would be violating it. Then, we would see if there were consequences worth issuing the order in the first place.
