If Merchan imposed a fine, Trump would never pay it. I know that, you know that, and all the appellate courts and SCOTUS justices know that. Which would mean that Merchan's court would have to be able to summon him back for further proceedings, with the possible imposition of jail time....which would keep all these weird and thorny legal issues in everyone's lap over the next few years.

What's thorny? We know the expiration date. In four years he is no longer protected. So fine him today. If he fails to pay, pile on additional fines. If, after four years, he hasn't paid, toss him in the clink. Seems pretty straightforward.
