Unfortunately Trump and the DOJ control the U.S. Marshal Service.

Enforcement protocol?

He wants to demonstrate to Xi that he has control over the media too

Of course it won't happen. Trump will do whatever he wants, whenever he wants until the number of people who are saying "but the courts" dwindle to such an insignificant number that the group with clubs, knives, guns, and torches, say "we've had enough of this motherfucker" and stop him.

“Could” - But it wont. We’ve seen the trump regime defy the court multiple times (Epstein Files, planes taking off…) but it never results in contempt. And why was this decision based on the 5th Amendment instead of the 1st? Is the judge leaving a door open for trump to do more?

Can anyone explain why some judges, notably Trump judges, seem apologetic when they rule against him & as this judge did, offer ideas to DOJ of how they might better defend their cause in future challenges-In this case, to create guidelines for what WH considers "acceptable" behavior? Seriously?

Andrew, how can CIVIL contempt result in jail????

And the SCOTUS6 will eventually decide it is a presidential act and just fine.

Even if the Judge ordered fines and jail for contempt, the Executive Branch would have to enforce it which will not happen. This is why the US Marshal Service should be under the Judicial Branch instead of the Executive Branch. The Judicial Branch has no enforcement mechanism over the Exec. Branch.

Thanks Andrew! You gave a great explanation with On The Line With Alicia. 🙏🇺🇸💙

Exactly what I was wondering.

More than likely the DOJ lawyers but the Executive Branch would have to enforce the fines which ain’t gonna happen.

Why not against the dumbass standing at the door and blocking the way. Keep it simple.

Exactly. Everyone who said go away, or blocked access, or sneered. Ok, maybe not sneered.

"Any crime where only a fine is an option, is just a crime for the poor." - Hopefully not too mangled quote 🍊💩's legal team has deep pockets supporting them. I suggest a holding cell in the local D.C. Jail (escorted there by city cops), and not a federal lockup, would produce results more quickly.

That’s what billionaire friends are for.

But Trump “you can’t make me”
