Hold trump accountable for the first time in his life, and still have him sitting in court all day facing justice!

But someone who was interviewed said he could impose a sentence and have TFG report to jail after the trial. If he keeps violating the Gag Order, just add more to time.

Sounds like a great plan to me

to break the gag order. He wouldn't be able to do that if he was in jail all night. At least, not as effectively as if he was out as a free man.

On the other hand, if a sentence is ordered and he knows it is coming, as opposed to a big maybe and only if convicted, perhaps a light bulb will go on. He will lose a lot more campaign time if the trial time is followed by time in jail for contempt

because he keeps breaking his gag order!

...

It's the maximum. That doesn't make it customary. But what is customary: judges not imposing a prison sentence when the DA only has asked for the penalty to be a fine. Which is where we are at present.

This would be for after he breaks the gag order a couple of times. Not for the first offense.

But having someone in jail but being brought into court when necessary is SOP for someone charged with contempt, or, well, for anyone who's serving time for another crime but is required to be in court for whatever reason, either as the accused or a witness. Even if you're in jail, you can be brought into court if called.

Happens all the time.

Really.

and it will leave trump in front of the public in the courtroom, and it will put him in jail where he belongs. Win win win win.

I don't want to see or hear that his aide brought him food. He eats jail food only! And he goes back to waiting cell during breaks and lunch, no having his cell phone with lawyers. To me that wouldn't be punishment.

He knows Trump and his protection detail would destroy the jail's routine and turning to chaos. Regardless of what people here think he can't be treated like just another detainee.

We have no history, or laws for that matter, for what to do with a former president who is also a repeat criminal.

mortgage their homes to send him money. As much as I would relish seeing his sorry ass behind bars, it might help him more than it hurts him.

That might be all he cares about initially. But after a month or more of spending the nights/lunches/breaks in jail, it would wear anyone down. So while there might be some upside benefit for him, I'm pretty sure the novelty of it would wear off mighty quickly.

There's not enough money in the whole world that would have me enjoying being in jail or in a courtroom 24/7 for a month or more. Plus, I'd love him to see and experience some of what Allen Weisselberg is going through.

But there is a jail cell in the court, I could see him spending several hours in it.
