Wondering if the judge could say after these fines. The next time TFG violates the gag order that he would be put on an ankle monitor and only allowed to travel between Trump tower home and court/lawyer meetings.

A violation once in ankle monitor would put him in jail.

There should be justice for all, and literally anyone else facing 34 felony counts who was trying to intimidate witnesses, court personnel, or jury members would likely have been put in a similar arrangement by now.

Brutal perhaps but he seems unlikely to receive jail time so any sort of fine is a slap on the wrist. LonePirate Apr 23 #2

The judge can't, by NY law, impose a fine greater than $1000.00 per violation, MarineCombatEngineer Apr 23 #11

And to TSF, that's not even the slap on the wrist it would be to most of us. ShazzieB Apr 23 #14

No, but it's the first step, correctly IMHO, in escalating punishment MarineCombatEngineer Apr 23 #16
