I’m hoping for 30 days in jail starting after the republican nomination.
George Conway was saying to the publisher of the Bulwark that the he doesn't see Trump walking away with 0 days in jail, but it most certainly won't be long given it's his "first" offense and his clear disregard for the judge, his family/daughter, staff, the witnesses, jurors, prosecution lawyers, and the law in general along with the fact that he was held in contempt TEN times in this specific case alone... some jail is fairly likely, not the maximum "but I think he's gonna get at least a couple of years". Michael Cohen went to prison already for the other side of this same thing.
Meidas Touch's Michael Popok however was saying (I can't find the link for this one rn) that while it is possible, he could potentially see a way forward in which there is no jail time given this first time offender technicality, but definitely probation until sentencing
Lmao the terms of the probation should dare him not to lie
Only 30 days? Why not let him rot in prison through the whole appeals process like the vast majority of normal convicts do?
I’m a rationalist; if this was any other dirtbag business person I’d want them to smell the urine scent of prison to remind them the next time it would be worse. American prisons don’t rehabilitate, they only threaten.
So because it’s Trump, he gets a lighter sentence? That doesn’t seem rational to me. I agree American prisons are horrible, but I see no reason to spare this particular dirtbag business person from it.
