Judge Merchan knows if he tries to jail Trump before the election it will trigger widespread outrage, even among Democrats. They all know the case is bogus lawfare that will likely be overturned on appeal. Still, Democrats are so desperate to finally get Trump they might do it. They're that stupid.

Instead of riots, there will be even more support for a Trump presidency at the ballot box. No one wants to live in a country where the government and legal system will do something like this to a political opponent. Trump is a victim of the system and even if they put him in jail people will still vote for him.
