***From Rolling Stone’s Nikki McCann Ramirez:***
Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial is back in session, and Manhattan prosecutors are accusing the former president of violating a court gag order at least seven times since the trial began on Monday.

“We’re not going to do anything about it. We just wanted you to know.”
if trump couldn’t keep his mouth shut after being told seven times that’s a big no no. it’s like ignoring a rule from a judge and that’s not cool
So… random question for the Reddit Court: What would happen if Trump were found to be in contempt of court and *actually* jailed, but, someone continued to post things that violate the gag order on Trump *using* his account?
So the throw the scumbag in jail. If any of his repulsive supporters want to be threatening and violent in response, throw their asses in jail too.
WHY is he continuously allowed to get away with this behavior? It’s infuriating.
And he’ll do it a hundred more times with no consequences. We get to see our two-tiered justice system in full display every time he does
I don’t envy the judge here, this is a tricky situation. I know we all want Trump treated like every other criminal, but the fact is he’s not. We’ve seen before what his minions will do with a little goading and I know the judge is trying to avoid all that and just get this trial going.
Hold him in contempt of court.
Only 7?
Just start escalating the fines by doubling each time he does it. It wont take long before he owes more in penalties than he currently does in his civil trial.
that’s a lot. it sounds like trump isn’t taking the gag order seriously at all
Of course Trump violated the gag order. He’s going to continue to do so because he doesn’t believe the rules apply to him.
In an angering way it amuses me for the court system to be put on such public exhibition showing how unfair its system truly is. Any ONE of us even splutter at a judge and we’d get tossed into a cell to “contemplate” our actions but these judges don’t do shit to a piece of garbage like Trump because of money and station.
It’s Thursday. THURSDAY. Seven times, in less than three days.
Trump is basically daring the court to lock him up, and I hope they take him up on it.
No consequences.
>Trump’s attorneys countered that the social media posts in question “do not establish any willful violations,”
‘wilful’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
And if this was any of the rest of us, we would’ve been thrown in jail after the first infraction.
Really sick of this bullshit.
And no one has done anything about it. Wonder why he keeps doing it? Weird.
It’s not really a gag order, more of a gag suggestion, plea? He’s making the system and the judges look weak every single time they don’t lock his stinky ass up.
*Breaking rocks in the hot sun…*
The court should deal with tRump has done, not what his supporters may or may not do. Facts first.
Lock him up and keep him there until the trial concludes.
That should get him a furious finger shaking or a stern talking to.
I dunno, maybe a teeny tiny fine will teach him.
/s just incase
And yet nothing is done for a plethora of BS reasons..Justice system is filled with a bunch of scared jagoffs who allow him to do anything he wants with 0 repercussions. Or who are in debt to him and allows him to pile up Stern warnings.
He wants to be jailed. He thinks it will make him a martyr and help him.
Looks like these prosecutors have forgotten the unwritten rule that Trump is allowed to do whatever he wants without any consequences.
Weird how when you do not punish a child, they keep doing the same thing.
Then fucking do something about it
Jail. Trump. Now.
Hold his lawyers in contempt for not controlling their client.
Throw. Him. In. Jail.
He is actively tainting the jury pool. We don’t need to have a hearing to review if he has broken the gag order. Merchan makes that decision. He can be released to attend court each day, then right back to his concrete palace.
These are not hard problems to solve. Stop worrying about optics and put the law above all.
And nothing will happen.
I’m so mentally drained with this whole thing. Dude should’ve been locked up like any other citizen months ago.
