Former President Donald Trump received a $5,000 fine on Friday for violating the gag order put in place by Judge Arthur Engoron to protect his staff and his courtroom’s proceedings.
$5000. What bullshit.

Why is it impossible for an ex president to go to jail for contempt of court? He’s just a citizen, now, and a citizen would have their bail revoked.
It’s not literally legally impossible, but the logistics of dealing with Secret Service protection for someone in prison make it extremely difficult, plus it’s obviously unprecedented to put a former president in jail, and the added complication of it being the primary competition to the sitting president in the next election.
There are a lot of reasons a judge would want to avoid prison, specifically. And the system is set up such that if there are circumstances where there’s a good reason to avoid prison for a certain person, there are alternative punishments like fines or house arrest.
Throw him in solitary and post a SS member in front of the door.
Literally impossible. The physical and mental demand on everyone involved would be more than any one person could endure.
Yet we do it to millions of people in the US every day.
How is it impossible?
The secret service HAS to be there. I don’t know what you don’t understand about that. The secret service HAS to be there. That’s without a doubt. The secret service being there that is.
Did you not read my comment about posting an SS member at the door to his cell?
Sorry, don’t mind me. Just trolling.
