but it's pretty nifty how it got revised in a heartbeat to include Trump's latest threat against the Court. The swiftness of the motions and orders is satisfying. Trump's attorneys must have a real headache, thinking up excuses for his vile anger.
I doubt that these Judges will be swayed by the phony excuse he now offers. At any rate, here is an admission that it was a threat. He's just trying to steer it into a dead end that he thinks will fly.
Trump makes it easy for Jack: Judge, this is what we need, and oh by the way, look at his contempt of Court! LOL, I keep wondering which DU member won the guesstimate for how long it would take Trump to run his mouth.
Judge has given herself until Tuesday to decide what to do. She might have to do this as a matter of course, but I'll bet that she is more interested to hear whatabout the threatening post than anything else. The Magistrate took extreme care to instruct Trump not to do this, and basically instructed him that if he did it, he would be subject to whatever punishment Chutkan thinks is appropriate, up to and including pretrial incarceration.
Of course that is what we want to see! Of course it is! Not ashamed to say it, and it seems fair and appropriate. This is contempt of Court. If he gets away with it, he'll do it again. How arrogant of him. She should order him into custody (have the SS surrender him by Wednesday) and then let the attorneys argue in open Court about why they think it is not contempt.
At the very least, she should put him in lockup for the length of the argument. Or, several hours. She could take it under advisement, have a long lunch, and let him go before 5 p.m. That would be enough of a warning. Bring him back in and tell him AGAIN not to threaten the Court, the Prosecutors, the Jury, the Witnesses, or anyone else that he wants to claim was the subject of his tirades.
Trump deserves to be in the cooler.
