So honest question: if the jury finds him not guilty, could Merchan then sentence him to the pokey for contempt? because I would definitely recommend against that.

sure, contempt of court is independent of the outcome of the actual proceeding. It would be unusual for certain to be acquitted and then sentenced for contempt, but I don't think there is any legal impediment to it happening.

At the end of the day he is going to use the battered spouse defense.  Melania hits him and so he has to seek relief in the arms of compliant women he encounters in his daily life, at department stores, at his celebrity pro-am golf events, in the intern pool at the White House.

LOL - if he tries to throw Melania under the bus, the bus for sure is going to end up in the ditch.

She'll go along with it so she can keep the gravy train running.   You see "Zone of Interest?" that bint who Hoss was married to was so enamored of her life in the nice house she put up with the murder of hundreds of thousands outside her doorstep.

maybe the most impactful thing the Judge could do would be put him in an ankle bracelet and ...

Can we chain that ankle bracelet (with TFG in it of course...)

To a Jet Airliner...?

Just to see what happens?

Steve Miller would approve this message.

Did he just violate the gag order again?  He doesn't care, he's not paying for it. He needs to spend a night or two in a strange bed without his phone.

 

IIRC the Judge didn't include himself in the subjects of the order.

He thinks the act of being sentenced to jail is political gold for him, plus he assumes it will never even really happen, which would be the best of all worlds for him.

I think he expects a "popular uprising" by his supporters upon the theatrics of his "pretend" tough guy incarceration.

That would lead to an insurrection demanding he become King again, errr, President that is...

Whereby he could ride on the shoulders of his white trash fascist troops, errr, freedom fighters... to his throne.

Yeah, we laugh off the idea of an uprising that will install him as King, but it can also be horrible even if a few dozen motivated Three Percenters or whoever start shooting up public places here and there and killing a few hundred people just going about their business, in support of their Replacement Jesus.

Got a gag order hearing coming this morning...again.   I wonder how the rest of this trial goes if Merchan says, no matter the outcome you are doing a stretch come the end of this trial.

other options: if convicted this will factor into sentencing and/or bail conditions on appeal

When I was listening to coverage earlier they were talking about the witness that was coming up was just there to testify to the authenticity of information on two phones Cohen surrendered to authorities.   These commenter's both said it was something that isn't ever crossed.

Well.... according to lisa rubin apparently trumps guys did cross examine the witness and....... said the FBI planted info on the phones ?!?!?!?!?!
