So, do something about it?
When you are famous they let you do it.
The frustrating part of that comment is that it isn’t wrong
They are. Can't you see it went from finger wagging to a firm tone? Next will be a strongly worded letter if he keeps up his shenanigans.
Oh no, he'll get a slap on the wrist with the touch of a feather. How dare the courts prosecute him so!
Someone said they thought this was due to Trump abusing the appeals system. I have no way to judge the merit, but it seemed logical enough.
the reality is trump long-ago found the primary failure in our 'justice' system, and thats 'time'. appeal enough, drag it out long enough you will win. either outright or tacitly as whatever it is is no longer relevant.
its the goal of literally every thing he has ever done legally. if you look at it through that lens it all makes sense. combine that with court system stacked with ultra-right wing crazy people and you have a fascist movement in the works.
To be fair, that said tactic is used by just about every legal team backed by millions. Just drag shit out forever while the other side bleeds money. It's why small businesses and individuals are fucked when up against the rich. It doesn't matter who's right or wrong in our justice system when big money is involved.
I think they are fining him, but it's only $1,000 for every instance? If that's true, then I know people personally that would never care about that fine, and they aren't being regularly supported with donations from millions of people.
He can be sentenced to prison for violating the gag order, but that's rarely necessary, so it wouldn't be the first step.
