What do you think Judge Merchan's plan is to deal with

[EndlessWire]

41. Well, as I mentioned in the other thread

here's the thing. I don't know if they did it, but the Prosecutors apparently informed the Judge that they would be filing another complaint today over the gag order. And, while they didn't ask for jail this time, they did say that they hadn't asked for that particular sanction "yet." So, not sure the order everything has to happen in, but "if" they do file yet another complaint, they could then ask for jail. The Judge has put off ruling. Yes, he can ask for another "Show Cause" hearing to rule on the second complaint. He can rule on the one today, set another gag hearing date--maybe the following Monday. Order him to report for lockup at the courthouse on Wednesday. No loss of time.

Or maybe, after reading the second complaint, he'll just lump them together and make one ruling, hopefully fines and jail. I don't know if he can do that; I think they have to be separate.

And that will be very interesting, in view of what happened today. Didn't the Judge ask tRump's attorney if he had any cites for him, and his attorney said no, because it was just common sense? So, no evidence or any good argument. Just Trumpian logic.

At any rate, I wouldn't count out a bit of Jail time for Trump. He isn't learning. And, I don't think this judge is going to do the escalating fines bit for such a short trial, when he doesn't have to go there. Fines for today, jail next Monday. Could be.
