If they witnessed him committing a federal offense, yes. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/3056

make arrests without warrant for any offense against the United States committed in their presence, or for any felony cognizable under the laws of the United States if they have reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or is committing such felony

Since a gag order issued by a NY state judge would not be a federal crime it would be out of their jurisdiction. I believe however they would have a duty to report the violation of the gag order, but I don't know that as a fact.

What would probably end up happening is that his lawyer would issue public statements and the most loyalist and most followed chuds on TS would just copy paste the message.

Eh, him making statements through an Intermediary who (presumably) would go over it to make sure their client isn't digging themselves deeper but having no direct access to direct gratification is... fine, I guess. I just want to see what happens if he can't get a constant stream of yespeople to immediately stroke his gigantic ego.

Gag orders would likely be extended to all parties directly involved in the case, so that would be Trump and the lawyers on both sides.

The quotation was just "gently caress em up" [sic]. The "politically" was added by the Twitter poster. If I were a DA an someone said they wanted to "gently caress [me] up", I'd probably want to know in what context.

$1,000 or 30 days in jail and nothing in between? Looks like Trump is going to say whatever he wants unless the Judge really is willing to bring the hammer down.

I'd be happy to see him in jail for 30 days. Maybe he'll double down and end up with multiple consecutive 30-day sentence for such behavior. His behavior is ridiculous.

What's the legality status of it? If he were the current president bringing down his governmental authority on the guy I can see how that would be no good. But the case here is a defendant planning to politically advocate against his own prosecution, which doesn't seem like a conflict of interest.

What specific federal crime do you think it would fall under? There's nothing illegal about saying "this trial sucks and I think the prosecutor is trumping up some bullshit charges against me for political reasons". It's not illegal to "politically gently caress 'em up". It might annoy the judge, which is likely to hurt his case in the trial he'd be facing for the actual crimes he did, but it's not a crime by itself.

Judge could order his access to any device be limited or removed - basically no access to Twitter, Truth, etc. I'm not sure how that works if people tweet or post on his behalf, but I'm sure it's been done before.

The judge could do that, yes, but I think it's extremely unlikely that they would. It's not like the specific crime Trump was indicted for has anything to do with internet access.

Gag orders are routinely issued in criminal cases to keep various sides from trying to influence the trial outside the courtroom. Trump has no issues using his megaphone to do exactly that.

It's gonna have to be narrowly tailored, otherwise the judge risks having that brought up on appeal.

Of course it doesn't matter whether he's gagged or not, his behavior won't change and they're not jailing him for contempt.

Gag orders are "don't talk about the specific details of the case to the press", not "we're confiscating all your devices and you're not allowed to talk to anyone for the duration of the trial".

That being said, jury tainting is less of a concern here, because I'd be shocked if the judge seriously expects to be able to find 12 American citizens who don't already have a preconceived opinion about whether Trump does crimes or is being framed for crimes.

Agree. He'd be ordered not to discuss the case in the press, in speeches or on social media. If he listens to that or not is another thing, with penalties increasing as the violations rack up.

Isn't there bail conditions or something Judges can leverage to punish stuff like going on social media and issuing threats to the judge and whatnot?

Granted, different country, and struggling to remember the specifics, but I recall one of the trucker convoy dipshits who occupied downtown ottawa got hauled back infront of a judge because of some bullshit they were pulling and they were restricted from posting on social media, and I think when it was clear they were posting by proxy, they got hauled back in front of the judge again.

Do bail conditions even apply here? Is there rules that the judge can preemptively set out for Trump?

I went based on age. I'm ignorant of his health.

At the risk of sparking a derail, Kennedy was in real rough shape throughout his presidency (and indeed life) despite outwardly appearing to be young and healthy (which was more down to amphetamines and pain killers he was on). He had Addison's disease, chronic stomach issues, and a wrecked back (which he'd nearly died during surgery trying to fix) just to top the list. To deal with the latter he eventually started wearing a back brace, which if you want to get mildly conspiratorial kinda sorta contributed to his death as it made it so he couldn't duck after the first shot in Dallas, giving Oswald the chance to pop his melon with round two.

Trump basically admitted to taking classified documents with the intent to sell them back to the U.S. (or at least profit from them in some way) in an interview with Hannity.

Specifically, he cites that "Nixon got $18 million" from the federal government for his documents and the Watergate tapes.

I love Hannity desperately trying to shift the conversation once he realizes that he set Trump up to deny the whole thing and he is just diving in to admit it instead.

trump will go, and do, whatever he's told or whatever he's done before. he wouldn't think to flee because he doesn't think that far ahead and doesn't have the ability to find out how to do that.

Apparently when he landed at LaGuardia this afternoon, he kept everyone waiting like 15 minutes after the plane reached the terminal and everyone else got off because he was just sitting there browsing is phone reading all the reactions to his flight to New York. They'd have him before sundown because he'd do the same thing if he'd DB Cooper'd out of the plane.
