What I Wish Would Happen... Schedule All of Dump's Trials At the Same Time

and then have him arrested for contempt of court for the ones he doesn't show up for.

I know it'll never happen (our DoJ is too cowardly)... but I can dream...



(My apologies... I posted this in the DU Lounge before, but it seems that that might have been the wrong forum. I deleted it from there and reposted here.)

1. Cowardice has nothing to do with it.

Trump is entitled to a fair trial just like you or I would be. That precludes dirty tricks like what you describe.

5. I agree he's entitled to a fair trial.

But he should be in prison during the course of it.

2. The various courts won't let that happen. They will adjust their schedules

to be sure he appears for all of them (and isn't that what we want to happen)? If they didn't, any contempt of court charge would be thrown out as unconstitutional, since a defendant has a right to be able to comply with a court order. The prosecutors in the NY cases have already said they'll let the federal cases go ahead of them - it's likely and most favorable to all the other prosecutors that the 1/6 case will be tried first.

3. Wouldn't it be better to have them at separate times so he is put through his punishment again and

again and again. GROUDHOG DAY!

4. That is a horrible idea and would make a mockery of our judicial system.

As every person should be accountable for their actions, they deserve a fair trial and innocent until proven guilty.

6. I agree he deserves a fair trial.

I just think that he should be in prison for the duration of it.
