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.
He wants to be jailed for contempt. The jail time for contempt ends before the election. All he has to do is sit in a cell/ home arrest and do nothing and his poll numbers will skyrocket. Most likely there is one or more republicans on the jury that will hung jury the actual verdict. Trump will walk out of prison with 11 to 1 voting to convict and go around saying “The jury found me innocent! The only reason I went to jail was because the judge is a liberal who abuses his power.”

Wrong. The longer trump sits in jail the less bullshit he can spew the less appearances he can make and the more guilty he looks.
