New York Judge Juan Merchan Calls Trump ‘Possibly the Next President

Judge Juan Merchan admitted in court Monday that former President Donald Trump could become “the next president” — a tacit acknowledgement not only of recent favorable polls, but that his business records trial is occurring in the middle of a presidential election with direct bearing on the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

“The last thing I want to consider is jail,” Merchan warned Trump about violating a gag order placed on him. “You are [the] former president and possibly the next president.”

Merchan said Monday he would consider jail time for Trump if he continued to violate a gag order he placed on him that bans him from speaking about prosecutors (other than Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg), their staff, other members of the court, Merchan’s family members (including his daughter, who works on digital campaigns for Democrats), witnesses — including Michael Cohen, who has incessantly bashed Trump on social media — and jurors.

I think Merchan is terrified of Trump

I think Merchan is terrified of Trump

Yep and Trump knows it. He's bating the judge to do it because he knows the gag order is illegal.

It’s a foregone conclusion. Whoever makes this stuff happen has made their (its) decision.

The crabs and bottom dwelling trash eaters are going to have an expanded menu over the next few years. They are gonna get fat too.

As much as he may be, I think that Merchan is looking forward to the notoriety, fame, and fortune that he will receive by locking up Trump.

These are sad and perhaps dying days for the Republic.

Not dissimilar from other crazed lunatics seeking notoriety from their crimes.

“The last thing I want to consider is jail,”

Baloney. Judge Merchandise would LOVE to put Orange Man Bad in prison.

[blackdog]

Wait until the epiphany bureaucrats everywhere suffer when they realize it’s not Trump that’s their problem, but they themselves, with a very weary public taking their crap for decades.

...witnesses — including Michael Cohen, who has incessantly bashed Trump on social media —...

The one thing that the Trump legal team hasn't done is to petition the court to issue similar gag orders against all witnesses, prosecutors, the Court and the Court's family, and jurors from speaking out against Trump.

If Merchan issued a gag order against his daughter 'causing to be uttered' unflattering things about Trump, then that would shut down her #1 source of income.

“The last thing I want to consider is jail,”

because it is more likely to help Trump’s election chances than to hurt them. That would defeat the purpose of this whole clown show.

[butterdezillion]

Good point. It would be fun to see what would happen if they petitioned the court for that.

I think “his honor” just blinked.

I think “his honor” just blinked.

Good observation.

[teeman8r]

weakness is not tolerated in the revolution.

[Col Frank Slade]

Another Judge Ito ?

[Sarah Barracuda]

At least the prick sorta admits it

[Georgia Girl 2]

He’s not going to even try to put the Commander in Chief in jail. 🙄
