During an appearance on MSNBC, former Watergate attorney Jill Wine-Banks warned Donald Trump he could end up in pre-trial detention if he doesn't tone down his rhetoric about his criminal indictments.

In a segment with host Ayman Mohyeldin on the former president's attacks on prosecutors, including Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and special counsel Jack Smith, Wine-Banks suggested sanctioning Trump financially would be ineffective since he would just pay the fines with his supporter's donations.

As the expert explained, Trump is putting the judges in a tough spot if they decide to jail the former president, but that he may leave them no choice.
According to Wine-Banks, Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing Trump's Washington D.C. federal trial, is "up to the task" of handling the former president's attacks.


"I think that she can handle it, but she is in a very difficult position because putting him in custody has to be a last resort," she explained. "He may push her to that, but he will see it as a political advantage, and so she has to be careful not to give him that advantage. But there is a limit to what she can do to enforce his compliance with what her reasonable requirements for his release are."

"She can penalize him with a monetary fine but his supporters are paying his legal bills already so it doesn't hurt him and he doesn't care about them and their money," she added. "And so I don't know how much benefit in terms of his compliance it would be to fine him if he doesn't obey the fine. She said she would move to trial date up but she can only move it up so far without denying him due process and the adequate time to prepare, and he knows that and she knows that."

"So there's a very limited amount of things that she can do other than incarceration, and I think that that may have to be if he -- you know [political consultant] Stuart Stevens is right: he can't control himself," she elaborated. "And so if he goes way beyond the bounds and is clear in his threats and provoking his supporters to create violence in response to these threats, I think that he will have to be shut up by being incarcerated, and we have an example of Eugene Debs who ran for president from jail and so it is possible that he can continue his campaign from jail."

SCOTUS case in the making.

"My civil rights have been violated - I seek redress in a court of law."

"Your honor, we move that you stay any restraint until after the election. How can one run on a position without talking about the position - and in the election of Donald Trump his position and the actions of a weaponized state are self-evident."

Correction: Trump supporters see it as evidence of a weaponized state. And galvanize their support.

Reasonable requirements for his release is the judgement call. Even appealing additional restraint to the SCOTUS is a LOSS for the Dems.

These judges considering actually jailing Pres. Trump are ignorant beyond comprehension. We the people are already beyond angry he's being indicted and arrested-think what happens when these idiot judges actually jail him.

The damage to the US of A on the world stage is just one consideration. Countries around the world that value our form of .gov will be shaking their heads-"What happened to the most stable country in the world?". The world will be confused, to say the least.

And then there's we the people here. Lots of folks are already seething with rage seeing president Trump incessantly harassed like this. Pop him in the clink and see what happens.

You wonder why people haven't stood up to the elites? Pres. Trump in jail will make half of America stand up. Yep, stand up, go to the gun safe, pick up their favorite party favor and it's the white version of the BLM rioting of a few years ago.
There will be people wanting to bust President out of jail; there will be people inside the jail doing their best to walk him out the front door.

And there will be potentially one good benefit out of all this. Those judges and prosecutors and other communist elites may end up with those richly deserved nooses around their necks and that visual of them all swinging from lamp posts.

I think the mug shot thing has proven they've lost the ability to control public perception of Trump. Jailing him would also have the opposite effect to what they have in mind.

But the more their efforts fail, the more I'm concerned that they will resort to more and more extreme measures.
