New York Judge Threatens Trump With Jail Time During First Day In Court - 'Election Interference' by: Sterling Mosley 04.15.2024
On Monday, presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump traveled to New York City for the first day of his criminal trial in the hush money case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D). The defense and prosecution will begin to decide who will serve on the 12-man jury that will decide the 45th president's fate. During the hearing, Trump, who has repeatedly railed against the case as political persecution, was threatened by presiding Justice Juan Merchan that he would face jail time if he were to interrupt court proceedings or if he failed to appear while the trial was taking place.
During the hearing, Judge Merchan explained to the former president that he would be arrested if he did not appear at every hearing in the criminal trial in the coming months, a move that many conservative commentators claim is election interference. "If you do not show up, there will be an arrest," Merchan said. The trial is expected to take place over the next couple of months, perhaps even lasting until June.

Court ends at 5pm in fact court is gone for today trump can schedule rallies at 7pm etc best the commies at their own game and he can have rallies on the weekend too.. I remember when Kobe was accused of rape he’d go to court then play later that night and he played better than ever
Smug little commies.
Turley had a theory of trump were to plead guilty to a misdemeanor this would end today
Perhpas Republicans need to take a page from the Palestinians BLM Antifa protest book and shut down every bridge and freeway into and out of New York for the duration of the trial.
Total 55 gallon barrel of BS. A sham of our judicial system. Third-world politics.
Show trial. The usa’s lowpoint.
Unbelievable
I’d test him and see what happens....
Arrest yah tard...
The Steal is on.
Who would have to approve such a deal/ sign off on it?
Bragg?
Merchan?
They are superior beings to you.
The judge is merely making an empty threat. There is no precedence for putting a Fomer President in jail and problems associated with this will have lots of repercussions. There certainly would be an immediate appeal of a ruling like that all the way to SCOTUS. Practically where would they put him, certainly not in Riker’s. He would be under house arrest at his home or something like that. And he would just run his campaign from there.
Hi.
“They are superior beings to you.”
A movie character once said, “if it bleeds you can kill it.”

For SCOTUS to intervene there would have to a case filed to get there.
Get a load of this:
Unjustified Arrests of Venezuelan Democratic Opposition

The US State Department wagging their finger at another country for arresting the opposition. What a joke.
Use common sense, they are not going to put Trump in any kind of prison. He would probably be under house arrest.
For SCOTUS to intervene there would have to a case filed to get there.

Can you please translate that into English?
The evil exudes from those two smirks.
The Supremes are dirty.
