4. And the conman cannot mention one word about this case

to any of them, he cannot threaten them, can't coerce them, can't even ask them about this case.
I think he'll screw up and if he does will judge throw his ass in the slammer ?

Cuz NOBODY tells the donald what to do. That's what the donald wants to make sure we all know. Wouldn't surprise me if he's tried to, already.

audio/video of Trump and his big mouth effectively confessing to the crimes

nor do the 84 include other witnesses they may elect to call.

The only way for him to avoid jail is to plead guilty.
He'll drag it out but I strongly suspect he'll plead guilty to avoid prison.
