Here are some thoughts I have had. Rather than three posts, I am going to put all three in one.

-While it may seem that Trump getting fined $9,000 isn't that much it could be very serious and have dire consequences for him. By being found in criminal contempt that would mean Trump has broken the law which also means that he has violated the terms of his bond agreements in the Washington DC case, the Mar-a-Lago case, and the Georgia case. That means any of the other judges could revoke bond and order him to be remanded until trial. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Smith files a motion with both Chutkan and Cannon and I suspect Willis will also file her own motion with McAfee.

-Trump being unindicted co-conspirator in Arizona may actually set him up to commit other crimes. I could see him being forced to testify. There would be a high probability that at some point Trump would perjure himself. I know perjury is not the same as election interference, but it wouldn't be a bad consultation prize.

-It seems that the technique being used in the Manhattan case is to have it so that Cohen doesn't give much new information when he takes the stand. By the time we get to him the jurors will have heard nearly everything he says from several more credible witnesses. He won't be last but after he is done it won't be much longer before the prosecution is finished.
