Will Donald Trump be jailed before his trial? (Poll)

[orangecrush]

The judge then warned Trump: “You have heard your conditions of release. It is important you comply. You may be held pending trial in this case if you violate the conditions of release.”

She asked Trump: “Do you understand these warnings and consequence, sir? Are you prepared to comply?”

Trump responded: “Yes.”

But not 24 hours later, Trump posted on social media a message that could be understood as an attempt to influence potential jurors or retaliate against any witness prepared to testify against him: He wrote: “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!”

....

These statements directly violate the conditions of Trump’s release pending trial.

They also could inflame Trump supporters, thereby endangering those who are trying to administer justice, such as Smith and Chutkan, as well as potential witnesses like Pence.

It’s going to get a lot worse unless Chutkan – on her own initiative or at the urging of prosecutors – orders Trump’s lawyers to show cause why his release pending trial should not be revoked, in light of his repeated violation of the conditions of his release.

This would at least put Trump on notice that he will be treated like any other criminal defendant who violates conditions of release pending trial.

That’s what the rule of law is all about.

At this moment, about 400,000 criminal defendants are in jail in the United States awaiting trial because they didn’t meet a condition of their release.

3. He has been

Wiping his ass with that all weekend

[randr]

2. In a world that follows the rules of law he would already be in jail

[no_hypocrisy]

4. Quasi-punishment

1. He may be under "house detention" for a few weeks, months perhaps. That cuts down on rallies.

But

2. He will either keep posting on social media, and if not, then have his flying monkeys post on his behalf.

[orangecrush]

7. Can't jail him because

He needs Secret Service protection.

That's Secret Services problem, not the Judge's.

Let them figure it out.

[RKP5637]

9. Exactly, let the Secret Service figure it out!!! n/t

[Tree Lady]

12. Why can't he go to a military prison

and be guarded by the military with SS in a office nearby with maybe cameras on the door of his cell for them to watch??

[orangecrush]

14. +1

[brooklynite]

15. Because he's not in the military...

…and the military are no better or worse at guarding prisoners than civilian guards

[pwb]

5. Everybody I know is better than him so

lock him up. Cut out his tongue and I will forget it all happened.

[Brainfodder]

6. Need another option: Dies before trials take place for any # of reasons.

Just predictions....

[berksdem]

16. An option that might just play out

Let the MFer eat Big Macs all he wants!!!!

[malthaussen]

8. Behold the difference between "ought" and "is." n/t

[Fiendish Thingy]

10. Roger Stone threatened witnesses repeatedly

And was eventually gagged from MSM and social media, but never detained pretrial.

Just a counterpoint to the erroneous “anyone else” myth.

[Prairie_Seagull]

11. I think at some point he wil be jailed, pre-trial,

but due to who he is and what he is doing, he will be given enough rope... As in communication ability from Jail. Phone, laptop as well as access to campaign manager...


IMO

[Marius25]

13. Of course not. America has two justice systems. Trump is treated way better than anyone else

[CrispyQ]

17. We figure out a way to gag the fucker & shut him up or he will wreak havoc forever.

Which was my vote. We've already shown we won't/don't/can't handle him.

[berksdem]

18. I would be

absolutely shocked if her were detained pretrial. Above all else he is not held to account like any other citizen.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

19. Glen Kirschner-Trump arguably violates conditions of his pretrial release
