I can think of a whole BUNCH more positives for jailing that miserable coward…

Will he pay any fines?
Yup, because he is a bully.
Conroy says prosecutors will be filing another application for an order to show cause “on this violation later today.”
The prosecutor says Trump seems to think: "No one is off-limits to this defendant, and he can attack and intimidate any one he wants."

I would really like to see a Mitch McConnell moment. Just freezes up for about 5 minutes, and then they call in the hurry up wagon. I predict at least a TIA, today.

IANAL, but based on what I’ve seen in other trials, it’s only too late once the jury returns a verdict.
The operative question is, what kind of deal could The Once and Future Broke Guy cut with DA Bragg? I can’t imagine the scope of a deal that would satisfy both parties. I don’t think there is a deal to be had here.

Intimidation of potential jurors. He used a Jesse Watters hit and embellished it.
Conroy says the Watters example is a hybrid of something someone else said—“They’re catching undercover liberal activists lying to the judge”—with something that Trump added—“in order to get on the Trump jury.”

From the NYT liveblog:
Conroy says that Trump “violates the order when he posts about known witnesses or reasonably forseeable witnesses,” and “violates the order when he posts about a juror or prospective juror.”
And finally, Conroy says Trump violated the gag order when on Truth Social, he quoted the Fox News commentator Jesse Watters denigrating prospective jurors as "undercover liberal activists.” Prosecutors have flagged this as the most serious of the violations and Conroy does so again, calling it “very troubling.”
Conroy points to the timing of the post, last Wednesday evening. The next morning, Juror #2 came into court and asked to be excused. This upset Justice Merchan. He complimented the juror after excusing her, saying she would have done a good job.

Summoning the mob.
Conroy, disputing the notion that Trump is simply engaging in political speech:
“Throwing a ‘MAGA’ into a post doesn’t make it political. It may make it more ominous.”

Indeed, if he simply wrote, “Go GOP!” That might be considered at least nuanced.

A Dem House Member is writing a bill to get the Secret Service off the hook of having to protect any person eligible for SS service, if that person is given a sentence of 1 or more years in prison. He says it is entirely pragmatic. I like…

The D.A. is not being unreasonable.
Prosecutor: The Court can fine Trump $1000 for each violation or be jailed up to 30 days.
We seek that you max him out at $1000 fine for each of the violations. Make him remove all of the offending posts. Finally, warn the defendant that his conduct will not be tolerated and that incarceration is an option.

A solitary man in a cell with a steel bombproof door. Why is there a need for 24/7 Secret Service protection? I would think SS protection would lapse upon criminal conviction and the TSF has 88 opportunities for a felony conviction at present.
