I’m not trapped in a sham here with you, you’re trapped in this sham trial with me!

Merchan -- "The last thing I want to do is put you in jail."

[Mr_Peter]

If the judge puts Trump in jail someone will even the score. I’d do it myself if I lived closer.

[redfreedom]

Being thrown into jail brings out the possibility that Trump could hang himself in a similar manner Epstein did. I just do not think this is a smart move at all. Is the left actually dumb enough to let this happen, that is put him in jail and hang him as tough it were a suicide?

I have a feeling this is all rhetoric on Trump’s behalf, where he believes they do not have the guts to put him in jail. Could be another one of his 3D chess games.

[Flavious_Maximus]

The filthy foreign scumbag Juan Merchan is himself breaking federal law with election interference.

He himself will be rotting in prison, soon enough. /spit

[faithhopecharity]

his share of the vote would skyrocket from, say, 60 percent to maybe 80%

for even one day in gaol

[Churchillspirit]

Good or bad news, depending upon whether he would be able to keep his SS detail.

[adorno]

Merchan and the corrupt DAs in NY would like nothing more than seeing Trump in prison orange and the left-wing media would have Trump's jail costume with a prison number, all over TV and on the internet and on billboards all over the country. It's exactly what democrats want, and that would serve the democrats' purpose of branding Trump as a criminal. Democrats will do whatever it takes to get Trump out of the election, even going as far as finding Trump guilty of a non-criminal charge. It's guilty or have to deal with him in the election, and they don't want to face him in the campaign trail.

Right or wrong, if democrats can get away with finding Trump guilty, they will be n TV and radio and every type of media, claiming that, Trump was found guilty in a court of law. Nothing less will work for them. Democrats just wanted Trump in court, no matter the charge, to find him guilty, even if the case is a complete sham. Trump is already guilty with the judge and prosecutors and jury, and the witnesses against him. As far as democrats are concerned, it's done deal.

Procecutor asked Stormy the position they were in during…. Defense objected. Believe it or not judge sustained objection. Judge is beginning to realize he looks like an idiot

[richardtavor]

Measure for measure: I look forward to the day that this judge reaps what he has sown. I don’t know what that will be, but God has a way of forcing people to face the consequences of their actions. That goes along with all of the army of Lawfare justices.

[missnry]

This judge needs to pack his bags and head to Cuba or Columbia or any other third world country where his “justice” system is appreciated. He is NOT an American. He is wiping his rear end with our Constitution. He is a political hack with a political agenda. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest his arm pits. Then may a thousand million saber-toothed crotch crickets invade his underpants and cause him deep pain.

[avital2]

jail would be one thing - but house arrest might actually be an alternative that would hurt DJT.

[Sicon]

“The last thing I want to do is put you in jail.”

Ha! Did his nose instantly grow right across the courtroom and through the back wall?

[mass55th]

Like I said on another thread yesterday, the Judge would have an even bigger nightmare if he put President Trump in the slammer. He’d have to make arrangements to have him moved back and forth to and from the court house every day, plus provide secured transportation, and police escort. It would be a big headache and an inconvenience for the Judge, the court, the jail, the NYPD and the city of New York, not to mention the extra cost to the city and its taxpayers. Does this Judge really want to put President Trump in cuffs and leg shackles for practicing his right of free speech?

[The Great RJ]

Seeing Trump handcuffed and sent to jail is a leftist wet dream. However, it will make Trumps martyr and will simply anger not only his base but also the moderates who will plainly see this sham trial for what it is…election interference. Jailing your political opponent is the stuff of banana republics and socialist totalitarian countries like Venezuela and Cuba. The Democrats are so blinded by Trump hate they fail to consider the reaction. While there will be cheers from the east and west coast leftist enclaves the rest of the country will be mad as hell.

[Clutch Martin]

The SS would vacate their protection responsibilities?

[Clutch Martin]

American judges need to be born in America. Not Bogota Colombia like this bag of worm food.

[Salman]

Trump knows it would gain him votes.

I fully expect him to be murdered soon.

[fella]

So; can a single person wearing a medieval cape take away your Constitutional rights just on their say so or not?

What does SCOTUS have to say about this question?

[HKMk23]

“The last thing I want to do is put you in jail.”

This is a thoroughly impeachable LIE.
