I’m not saying that it’s likely or that it would have any effects.

    Yes, he can.

    But he won’t be, or he’ll be given a suspended sentence that will never be supervised.

    I’m gonna mostly copy paste my answer from another question I answered:

    What will happen is the judge would give a slap on the wrist sentence like a fine and call it a day.

    Because the alternative is the judge giving a prison sentence and then the president goes “The NY Courts have made their decision, now let them enforce it” essentially creating a State vs Federal government political crisis.

    Spoilers, the Federal government wins.

    What if NY gonna do, send agents to somehow get past the SS to arrest the president?

    If that was even attempted, the president would invoke insurrection act and arrest the governor/judge/ whoever gave the order for the arrest and flip the narrative, claiming the state officials are attempting a coup.


    Edit: Also, giving him a prison sentence before he takes office wouldn’t do anything either. Even if the Biden-led SS cooperates, on Jan 20 at noon he is president and the military is getting him out, he’d the order the arrest of NY state officials.

      Yeah I agree that can’t keep him locked up, but could they jail him, because honestly that isn’t nothing. Obviously it’s career suicide for anyone involved but you know.

    No.

    It’s over. Trump is never going to be held accountable for any of it. In a few years he’ll die peacefully in his bed like Kissinger did.

    Biden as a zionist wants what zionists want. It seemed to be good electoral gambit back in 2021 to let Trump embarass himself and GOP more by walking around unhinged, but after October 7th, Zionists want him to win and DNC wants what Zionists tell them to want.

    Putting Trump in military jail for the treason charges makes sense instead of Aileen Canon case, and makes sense after Aileen Canon misbehaviour. Either the treason charges are as serious as Jack Smith says they are, and military jail is the right solution today, or it was all a witch hunt as Trump calls it. DNC making fundraising charades to hand over power to GOP fascism seems to be very pro Trump of them.

    it’s fucking joever, if the guy didn’t have the nuts to nip this in the bud, he’s certainly not going to grow a pair now and give him his just desserts.

    No the DOJ will begin winding down all investigations and closing cases against trump effective immediately. They are just trying to figure out how to do it.

    I projected three years ago that come the 2024 election it’s all going to dissolve into a nothing burger, regardless who wins, it was solely a dog and pony show to keep us divided and on edge. The same way that Hunter Biden suddenly is no longer discussed now that Biden is out of the race.

      They wrote. It down.

      It may prove to not end in consequences, but they took notes on a criminal conspiracy before the outcome and it’s part of evidence submitted in federal court.

      Nothing burger is not nothing.

        The courts are already starting to wind down investigations. This would have been the result regardless who won

    As a first time offender, he may not be getting a jail sentence regardless. Even if he did, though, he could just file an appeal and in the time it would take to hear it, he would be President and whatever sentence would be immediately put on hold l.

    He should be sentenced if he is a sitting president. Eric Adams didn’t get a free pass for being in office and neither should the president because the president isn’t a fucking king.

    He won’t be due to how shit our system is, or he would have been sentenced months ago like a normal person.
