Idle Hands and Somebody’s Workshop

And then Trump had a day off; and he got bored.
"It is a very, very clear violation of the gag order," he told CNN's Erin Burnett on her show "Out Front." "The gag order's last provision says that Trump cannot make public statements about any prospective juror or any juror. Full stop."
"I mean, it is just not permissible and I think prosecutors who will have already asked to have him founded contempt for other violations where he's talked about witnesses. This in many respects is much more serious because judges take the jury and the integrity of the jury as almost sacrosanct and the idea that he's intimidating the jury is something that I think Judge Merchan is going to be very concerned about."
I’m old enough to remember yesterday, when Trump grumbled something one account described as barely audible, as a juror was leaving the room to. A dismissed juror. And Merchan told the lawyer (as he should do) to tell his client to watch his ass.

So I expect this gets folded into the show cause hearing and Trump may soon end up finding out it’s perfectly constitutional to introduce him to a jail cell before the trial is concluded. It may be the only way to keep his stubby little fingers off his phone.

Tomorrow, at least, should be interesting.
