@commasense posted this in the main ‘hush money’ trial thread. I thought it was worth reposting into this thread. While the commentator, again, doesn’t go into reasoning against/for jailing Trump for breaking the gag order, he is one that can see Merchan as willing to jail Trump.

Fast-forward to about 9:30 or so:

> FWIW, in this video, former prosecutor Glenn Kirschner mentions in passing that he thinks it’s possible that Judge Merchan would put Trump in jail for contempt if he keeps violating the gag order or for other antics in court.
