27. After watching through several gag orders

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.

I keep waiting for a judge with real guts to toss him in jail overnight. bullimiami Mar 28 #19

It would take a judge with guts and no brains to put him jail when he hasn't violated a gag order onenote Mar 28 #31

But he has violated the gag order. bullimiami Mar 29 #41

How? onenote Mar 29 #44

Loophole? Is not the judge a court employee? Did he need to specify that separately? bullimiami Mar 29 #47

The judge is not "court staff". So yes, he would have to specify the "court" or the "judge" separately from staff. onenote Mar 29 #49
