In reply to the discussion: What do you think Judge Merchan's plan is to deal with [View all]ecstatic
(34,003 posts)46. Judge Cordell on Chris Hayes shared a great idea:
Order trump to be incarcerated but stay(?) the actual serving of the sentence until after the trial. Then determine during the trial how much time he will serve in jail after the trial.
She said, if we can put a man on the moon, then surely we can control a man inside and outside the courtroom.
She also said that any fines that are imposed should be paid by trump himself, not a pac.
I really hope Judge Merchan was watching.

Concur. He can't even get a few dozen die hards to the courthouse. Pity his SS team that has to babysit him in jail.

My fantasy is that Merchan is going to jail him but had to check with the SS first.

He paid the $15,000 that he was fined in the Carroll case for violating Judge Engoron's gag order.

Being unhinged doesn't change the fact that he'll have to pay any fine even if he appeals it.

But it took him a long time to pay the bond for the appeal in the fraud case.

Assuming 26 days is a long delay, its not relevant to his obligation to pay a contempt fine.

I'm perplexed too. Anger is starting to set in after hearing no decision today.
