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.

Yep, I've heard former prosecutor Glenn Kirschner point this out as well. I think at least Willis will pursue it.

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.

That would be amazing because he would 100% perjure himself on the stand.

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.

Yep, I heard 2 lawyers talking about how this is the way to get around his credibility issues/lying previously in a court case (which Trump's defense is going to bring up), by having credible witnesses saying the exact same thing and when Cohen comes in he's just further corroborating it as well as the fact that he's been convicted in regards to this very case already when he lied.
