    These are financial crimes and Trump is facing a max of 4 years, and jail time isn’t even certain even if it wasn’t trump.

      Don’t worry, the judges on the more severe cases will also chicken out.

      IMO, he should see jail time for the significance of the consequences of the crime. Are the institutions that make the country sacred or not? If so, tampering with and harming them should always go for the max penalty.

      Fixing books? Don’t really care that much. Tampering with elections in an effort to become a despot? He SHOULD be hanging…

        The judges in cases against the mafia didn’t chicken out, and those guys killed whoever they could get in their crosshairs. have at least a bit of faith in judges (outside of SCOTUS and Cannon - for obvious reasons), most of them are doing their jobs, just like the DA that got that conviction (lots of people said that he wouldn’t get a conviction with THAT case too)

          You ask me to have faith in judges except for the most powerful ones and some other cherrypicks … yeaaahhh when you have to draw such qualifications… the system is completely fucked.

        Well, the judge in THAT case is full maga, so unless the prosecutor gets his shit together and gets her removed from the case, or more correctly, the bench, we’re pretty screwed there.

      Trump didn’t do the real crimes like being black and smoking pot.
