The blockbuster remark came moments before closing arguments in Trump’s second trial in a case brought by E. Jean Carroll

A federal judge threatened Donald Trump’s attorney Alina Habba with jail time on Friday, after the former president’s lawyer kept contesting a ruling after it had been issued.

“You are on the verge of spending some time in the lockup,” senior U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan warned. “Sit down.”

The bombshell remark came moments before the start of closing arguments in Trump’s second trial in a case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll.

    So we just let them continue breaking the law so as to appease fascists? Yeah that’s a terrible idea

      No, it’s the exact opposite. I don’t give a shit if she spends a couple of days in jail for being annoying in court. I want to make sure the rulings against trump, the rapist and insurrectionist, are unimpeachable.

      It’s overreacting to petty shit meant to antagonize that is going to let them get away with breaking the actual laws we all actually care about.
