M.S. Bellows, Jr. (msbellows@c.im)'s status on Friday, 19-Apr-2024 09:02:19 JST M.S. Bellows, Jr. @hannu_ikonen @mmiasma I respectfully disagree. Trump actually isn't responsible for the juror identifications: the media reported on the publicly-available info (including employers, a mistake the judge fixed today), plus physical descriptions; family and friends then figured it out. Nor can Trump be held responsible *legally* for what his followers do, if he hasn't encouraged them to do it (which he hasn't done in this case – yet). And the judge is limited in how quickly he can impose contempt – it has to be an incremental process that protects the defendant's rights. The hearing next week is the correct next step.
There are lots of things in the world to be upset about. Judge Merchan isn't one of them.
