Judge Juan Merchan has found former President Donald Trump in contempt for violating the gag order in his hush money trial for the 10th time and said he’ll consider jail time going forward.
So, if I am understanding correctly, as a citizen I can threaten a judge 9 times, or threaten 9 different judges, and demand that I can only be held accountable for only one of them, or for all of them as a package only once?
Feel free to explain then, because from here it looks like El Trumpo should have been thrown to jail 8 contempts ago, like any normal citizen. Right now if I was a US citizen I would be justified in citing precedent that I can’t be sent to jail or even threatened with jail time with only 6 contempts.
This is the second ruling of contempt
First ruling was collectively over 9 comments he made.
This is the second, and said next would be jail time.
This is still from the first batch of contempt charges. The judge ruled on 9/10 and wanted more information before ruling on the 10th
Didn’t they say that after the first as well?
No.

No, you are not understanding it correctly.
