[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 77429994, member: 123415"] Given that the orders are centered around the concept of him keeping his trap shut, it's highly unlikely he'll be able to abide by it...just sayin' That being said, I doubt a violation would result in jail time. Thus far, in a streak of unfortunate irony, the people who [I]agree to be agreeable[/I] with prosecutors and flip on him have gotten more punishment than he's gotten thus far. Which I feel is a poor incentive structure in terms of strategy for prosecutors if they want to get people to continue to flip on him. Cohen has already been in jail, served his time, and gotten released for his trouble, and the testimony he provided in order to cut the deal hasn't resulted in Trump spending a day behind bars. Prosecutors pursuing Trump really need to start considering a "immunity in exchange for [I]playing ball[/I]" approach to going after his associates. "If you agree to testify against Trump and enter a guilty plea, we'll give you 2 years in jail instead of 4" becomes less and less appealing if each time the prosecutor fails to "seal the deal" and nothing major comes from it and he's still a free man...free to hop on social media and [URL='https://www.newsweek.com/michael-cohens-warning-jack-smith-over-trump-threats-1814689']encourage a bunch of nutjobs to send you death threats[/URL].
