In his statement posted at 7:30 a.m. on his Truth Social platform, Trump said he has “just recently been told who the witness is today.”
“This is unprecedented, no time for lawyers to prepare,” the former president wrote in the now-deleted post. “No Judge has ever run a trial in such a biased and partisan way.”
“He is CROOKED & HIGHLY CONFLICTED, even taking away my First Amendment Rights. Now he’s threatening me with JAIL & THEY HAVE NO CASE -This according to virtually all Legal Scholars & Experts! Why isn’t the Fake News Media reporting his Conflict?” Trump said.
The former president’s team has the potential witness list, but they aren’t learning which one will take the stand until shortly beforehand. Prosecutors have indicated they normally would provide a longer heads up as a courtesy but have not done so in this case because of Trump’s recent posts about witnesses.
sad part is that if he does go to jail, it will only serve to strengthen his base. and he knows it! (maybe that’s why merchan is not rushing to do it even tho he has every right to do so!-maybe)
I will be satisfied if he is convicted of any one felony, and serves only one day in jail/prison. He will then be a convicted felon, and there will be no going back. Of course, more convictions and more jail time would be even better…
How stupid do you have to be to deliberately threaten and alienate the jury and the judge that are going to decide if you are guilty and the results of that decision? I can’t understand why Trump’s lawyers allow him to speak at all. Every time he opens his mouth he loses ground in the trial. He should speak one last time saying:
“ I apologize for my previous statements. I respect the jury and judge and realize that it was my own fear that made me disparage them. I am truly sorry.” From that point on, “no comment” to any questions. It is obviously self serving and insincere, but it might save his neck.

As if that’ll happen like it should, my guess is house arrest overnight in the presidential suite at his flea pit.

I hope he keeps talking, and talks himself right into Many years in prison.

I hope he does go off the deep end and flap his gums in court, as him being in jail is a comforting thought.

The judge should make Trump wear an orange prison suit to court, I would bet that would get his attention.

Reminds me of a quote from one of the “Shrek” movies. “Donkey you have the right to remain silent. But what you don’t have is the capacity!”

The judge doesn’t have the guts to throw the Orange Nazi in jail! (Let’s hope reverse psychology works!)

I’m sure trump has weighed the potential donations he could generate vs the idea of actually spending a few nights in jail.

You know this is bothering him like nothing else. I doubt he’s ever been told to sit down and shut up.

He can get a maximum sentence of 4 years if found guilty—-so sentence him immediately,no bail
