   I doubt he ever sees jail time.

     This Judge has been the first to demand immediate obedience from TFG when he muttered and gestured at a potential juror. I suspect there's a good chance one of these witness attacks will result in more than fines if that is what it takes to protect a witness or juror.

     @WarnerCrocker That's not a fine, that's telling him it's fine.

     @jeff @WarnerCrocker The judge make it clear he would have fined the bejeesus out of him had he the right in law to do so. Instead, he said, one more slip up and it’s the pokey, bub.

     @WarnerCrocker It is more likely that Trump will see jail time from contempt of court than from the charges. This is because it is typical for these charges that someone who is a 1st time offender to not see jail time. This is the result from Trump not being prosecuted in the past.

     The judge understands that $1,000 incident doesn't mean much to Trump. There is possible jail time per gag order violation and alternatives, such as someone have to review every social media post before Trump posts.
