The jury is back in the courtroom after prosecutors had asked that Donald J. Trump be held in contempt for attacking witnesses and others close to the case. The former president is charged with 34 felony counts related to a hush-money payment to a porn star.
"Prosecutor Christopher Conroy has just said that prosecutors are not seeking jail time for Trump’s violations of the gag order.
We are not yet seeking incarceratory penalty. Defendant seems to be angling for that … We are asking the court to impose the maximum $1,000 fine for each violation."
“Defendant seems to be angling for that” … so? Why are they taking into consideration what Trump wants? Just treat him like you would a black guy in Texas caught with a little weed.

Now why would they shoot Trump five times in the back while he lays on the ground unarmed?
