Did the judge ever rule on the gag order hearing from Tuesday? There were 10 gag order violations presented at that time and now there's even more. I don't know how much clearer it needs to be that Trump will continue to violate the order until he's punished for it.

No ruling yet. If I had to guess, the judge seems to have made his primary focus to keep the trial moving along, but he may not have anticipated Trump blatantly disregarding his gag order 10+ times.

Honestly, I think these judges are playing soft, because if they play hardball, then other courts may overturn their rulings, as we just saw with the Weinstein case.

So by dragging their feet and playing dumb, they can point to a reason why they're going to give harsher punishments. Trump has violated his gag order over a dozen times now and prior to the last judgement, Secret Service was supposedly checking on how they handle jail time for his actions, so since he got off lite last time, it stands within reason that the punishment will incrementally escalate until there's no other option but to hold him in contempt for violating the order and simply jail him.

Supposedly this is what Trump claims to want, but that's because he truly thinks he's untouchable. But once it happens and he isn't able to tweet, truth, or speak about the trial in public at all, he'll realize what a big mistake he's made.

He also wants delays. Gag order hearings cause delays.

I hope it's something like that, and not just that the judge is unwilling to enforce his own order. If it's to make sure that whatever punishment he gives will actually stick that sucks but it is what it is. It's just frustrating when we all know you or I would never get away with blatantly ignoring a judge's orders.

You're probably right about Trump. He probably loves the idea of how much him being thrown in jail would rile up his base, but I'm sure he'd despise the actual experience of it.

CNN's says Pecker testified that Trump didn't reimburse him the money he paid to catch and kill the affair with Karen McDougal despite promising he would. That's 100% on brand for Trump.

This is already known.

If the president orders Seal Team 6 to kill his political opponent, he would be immune under this legal theory.

The members of Seal Team 6 however would be guilty of murder, probably some military charges abojt attacking a superior officer, etc.

Huh, don't think I've ever seen two top stories at the same time on CNN before lol

They both involve Trump and CNN loves covering Trump most of all.

Could you fucking imagine Trump being on trial that close to Election Day? It's going to be a shitshow (not that it wasn't already)

Chutkan likely won't hold the trial so close to the election and she's stupidly allowed Trump's lawyers 90 days to prepare following the SC's verdict. They could be doing that now, they should have already done it beforehand. Fuck I truly despise how the judicial system treats Trump. One of the worst human beings in existence and it's like he just has this golden film covering his body that lets him almost get whatever he wants every single time. It's truly sickening.

not giving presidents immunity will actually discourage peaceful transfers of power.

this has never been a problem till Trump. The only other time that is in question is Gore and Bush jr.

This is what the USSC will likely do, create some new legal test, and have it go back all the way through the courts again. Then, if Trump wins, no need.

I'm kind of expecting this. They ultimately don't grant presidential immunity but they find a way to delay Trump's criminal trials until after the election.

Then of course if he wins and pardons himself they'll rule in the inevitable lawsuit that he has the power to do that.

But if he doesn't win, we can then laugh at SCoTUS for being so stupid.

Kinda hope the judge says the defendant will be referred as Mr. Trump on all records as he isnt the active president at the time of the trial.
