      I think I heard 4 years in jail. But he’ll probably get probation because it’s a first offense, white collar crime. Yeah, yeah, Cohen went to jail for the exact same crime. But Don-Snorelone is whiter, older, and richer.

          No, they’re concurrent, so its 4 maximum.

          Actual sentence could be anywhere from probation, to 30 days, to 4 years.

          Mainstream coverage has their legal experts basically non committal on guessed actual sentence as this is totally unprecedented.

          Sentencing is set for July 11, 4 days before the RNC, though Trumps lawyers will attempt to appeal and push back sentencing.

          One thing that is certain is that being a convicted felon will likely make sentences harsher in his other ongoing legal stuff.

          I am guessing Legal Eagle is rushing to make a vid on this.

          And yes, a convicted felon can legally run for President… though if he is literally incarcerated during the term he’s elected to… no fucking clue how that works, again, unprecedented.
