• I didn’t read the article; the CBS news site isn’t the worst, but it employs some of the common, horrible site design patterns, and is painful to read.

    However: 34 counts. Each with a maximum possible 4 years incarceration sentence. It increases the odds of some jail time, for at least one or two counts.

    The judge is said to be taking a lot of factors into consideration; I hope one is them is the unusually unanimous verdict on such a large number of counts.

      Don’t forget the threats against the judge and his family, the jury and court staff. Needing a gag order just to keep people safe from intimidation should count for something.

      I hope one of the factors considered is the danger to society demonstrated by repeatedly violating court orders to make sure his Trumpanzees target court staff with threats and harassment.

      I hope that there is some actual jail time involved, but im expecting ‘You will write “I will not create fraudulant business records” on the chalk board 1000 times per count’…

      I’d say house arrest is the most likely sentence. Concurrent too, and probably not all 4 years. Secret Service will never work for a prison sentence.
