79. Defiance of a Court order directly from a judge is not a good idea.

Mon Apr 3, 2023, 04:10 PM

Apr 2023

The judge will have to decide who is in control of the process, he or Trump. If Trump defies successfully, then we all will know that Trump is in charge of the Court proceedings. And that won't happen because then, the nation and the world will watch in real time the utter failure of the "Rule of Law." First, the judge will have to openly warn Trump that defiance of his conditions of release WILL RESULT in a Contempt of Court charge WITH incarceration. And the judge will also have to warn Trump's attorneys that any incitement of violence from THEM will also be met with disciplinary action.

And lastly, any attempt to incite violence from MTG will mean.... laughter.
