He's facing up to 136 years in prison, since each of the 34 charges carries up to four years in prison, but even if he's convicted, it's very unlikely that he'll get the maximum.
Even if convicted, he wouldn't face any prison time for these minimal charges.
As a convicted felon he'd still be eligible to run for POTUS in 2024. Could argue it helps him, at least in the primary.
However, I don't believe he would be eligible to vote (for himself) in Florida. So -1 vote.
so he's facing up to 136 years maximum if convicted on all counts.
then this guy states with certainty he won't get jail time even if convicted
seriously, do you live in the real world or the fake FBI world?
because if he is convicted, what stops the leftist Judge following up the leftist jury with a prison sentence?
do you actually mean to claim Trump would not SERVE any jail time because he would be appealing it for years until he dies?
you should go back and reread what you typed.
First, this case will not go to trial. It has too many fatal flaws, one of which is the stacking to get to 34 counts. So just on that one legal issue alone, the counts get whittled down to one or two counts.
Second, the Statute of Limitations issue also precludes this reaching trial. among other basic deficiences.
But let's go out on a limb and pretend he is convicted of something relative to this indictment at some future date. It is non-violent offense. He would be released on bail pending appeal as long as he has a clean record out on bail in the interim. That's just what the laws say in New York state.
I mean I was very dismissive of the so-called legal prowess of the Team Mueller indictments but this one by Bragg is far more deficient on its face than the Mueller's stretching of statutes was. How can Trump being covering up crimes to win his 2016 campaign in 2017 after he was already in office? That's just stupid, to boot.
