    Yeah, and after 30 or 40 more hearings, he might consider threatening to possibly hold hearings to consider the possibility of maybe sending Trump a frowny face letter if he violates court orders another few dozen times.

    Notice how not a single one of these judges is actually seriously threatening consequences. Because they know they have no enforcement power. They know that Trump’s response is going to be some variant of “What the fuck you gonna do about it if I don’t?”. They know they have zero actual answers for that, and they know exactly what it means when they are unable to answer.

    They’re just stringing things along holding on to the illusion of power and hoping that people simply don’t notice that they hold no real power.

    Let’s keep considering, suggesting, studying, pontificating and actually do something for a change? How egregious does something have to be before some form of action is done?

    ‘judge considering action against POTUS after dropping nuclear bombs on state capital, indicating he may have committed a crime’.

      Just like they were doing on his criminal trials, just stringing things along, and we know they plan on not charging him in. The end. But very swift, against someone like mr luigi

    What this judge is weighing is whether or not he can save face should he drop contempt charges and trump wipes his ass with them

      Please please… Let the judge order Trump to do something and let Trump ignore. The constitutional crisis it would create would have to be dealt with.

      I’m gonna go grab some popcorn and watch this place burn

        That’s already happened a few times and nothing came out of it
