Showing Original Post only (View all)I get the feeling Trump knows he's going to jail for contempt [View all]
The story broke yesterday that the SS is working with NY prisons to figure out the logistics. I dont think that is a coincidence with the contempt hearing. Here is what I (and Mrs. WeRP, a lawyer) believe may have happened.
So far, Judge Merchan seems like a pretty efficient and fair judge. He knows Trump has blatantly violated the orders and is in contempt. He also knows that monetary fine isnt a deterrent. We both expected Merchan to fine Trump with a strict warning that jail is next
but that hasnt happened.
Why? Because the SS is involved. Merchan is practical and knows the logistics need to be nailed down. As of now, no one has forced this to happen. But we believe the Judge did that yesterday. He may have ordered SS to work with NY State Prisons to find a solution and is waiting to issue his order pending that result.
This may be why Trump and his attorney were passing notes yesterday, why the SS story broke and why Merchan hasnt ruled yet. It also explains Trumps 2am post last night crying for Repub politicians to save him.
I can envision the following:
Judge to Trumps lawyer: inform your client hes going to jail once the logistics are figured out
Trumps lawyer passes note to trump: yourre fucked, prepare for Reikers
Trump: (shits his pants)
Well, its a fun fantasy at the least!
