A judge could toss Trump in jail. The question is whether one dares.

Donald Trump in a 2016 debate infamously warned Hillary Clinton that, if he were president, “you’d be in jail.” A little more than seven years later, he appears bent on challenging judges who actually have the power to land him there himself.

But could it really get to that point? There is little question judges will seek to exhaust other options, but there is also increasingly little question Trump will continue to test their resolve with his attacks on judges, prosecutors, witnesses and others.
