Trump will probably comply. He still has lots of high value targets who are not Engeron’s staff, and with respect to the woman in question, the damage has already been done. Next.

Nothing is going to get through the Fat Orange Creep’s thick brain until he is sitting in Rikers eating a baloney sandwich for supper. Why are these judges coddling this spoiled brat? Just DO it.

Isn’t this trial to determine the fine with 250 million suggested. Can the judge double that for each incident, or perhaps a million for each?

I was a court clerk in a civil courtroom in Los Angeles Superior Court. The judge held a contempt hearing against a guy who did precisely what she ordered him not to do. Can’t remember what it was. She sentenced him to a few days in county jail. When he returned to the department after his sentence, it was obvious that he had lost weight on a jail diet.

And when dump does violate the gag order, which he 100% will, he should be jailed. It is way past time for courts of law to be enduring trump’s bullshit attacks on individuals and process.
A lot of people are saying we used to do that with traitors…

When is the last time trump paid for anything? He’ll just make another fundraising appeal “I’m being fined for YOU!” and the rubes will eat it up.

Somewhere on Twitter (maybe Eric Garland?) I heard some speculation about her father’s family connections in Iraq.

True, but the court may be able to put themselves, fines owed, at the top.

Judges have a lot of leeway. I know someone jailed for a cellphone video in the courtroom. Phone was seized as well. Of course he lied to the judge as to whether he’d done it.

IS Riker’s the jail associated w/this court? NYC/NYS have so many jurisdictions and I thought Riker’s was ‘city’ prison and this is a ‘state’ court. Or do they share that hellhole?
That makes me laugh because I remember Nixon; NIXON would’ve said, THAT GUY has NO class. But hit him up for some money. He looks like the kind of guy that likes a lot of ‘sucking up.’

I think it’d be pretty easy to jail Trump for a week. Ask the Secret Service detail to choose a hotel, or any Georgia facility with a shower; a shuttered school might work. Trump will proceed there in the custody of bailiffs, who will take his phone, and sit in the room with him in shifts. (His telecommunications will be watching basic cable TV.) He can meet with counsel if they understand they can’t play messenger. If he wants other visitors, pre-trial services can set up visiting hours and permitted visitor lists.
The Secret Service detail is to protect him from physical harm; they’re not there to keep him from being handcuffed, or to break him out of state confinement.
This also points to a simple solution for a long-term imprisonment: let the Secret Service design and site a very small jail. We already saw untold millions of dollars go out the door in the Trump administration for more trivial things, so if it costs $10m to make the “oh, it’s physically impossible to imprison Trump” people hush up, it’s money well spent.
The name “Trump Tower” is about to become available. May it soon refer to a purpose-built cinder block cottage on a military base.
