Former President Trump faces new charges in his fourth indictment this year, this time in Georgia, where prosecutors say he participated in a plot to overturn the state’s 2020 election results to s…
Violation of RICO in GA carries a minimum five year prison term,
EDIT: “[Or] a fine” that “does not exceed the greater of $25,000 or three times the amount of any pecuniary value gained”. Because the pecuniary value is zero, I find it very difficult to believe that a $25,000 fine would be considered an appropriate consequence to violation of GA RICO in this case.
The GA governor cannot pardon, there is a pardon board,
Even if the pardon board grants pardon, that does not take effect until five years after the sentence is served.
Look at all the people being charged alongside Trump for RICO. When RICO is prosecuted, all co-conspirators are charged as a group. They all get the same sentence.
They’re all going to prison.
EDIT:
And and – In order to be convicted of RICO in GA, a minimum of two crimes must be shown to be part of the same criminal enterprise. Of 19 defendants, it is highly likely that one or more will plea deal and cooperate. Another edit: Because an alternative sentence for a GA RICO violation is a fine, with no prison, that’s a basis upon which other defendants or co-conspirators would be motivated to make the plea deal and cooperate.
It’s all over but the shouting. Donald Trump is going to be convicted and sentenced to prison in Georgia.

I will believe it when I see it… assuming this did all happen, how long would it take from today before he hypothetically saw cell bars?
The prosecutor is shooting for 6 months if not sooner so possibly March
Betchya a buck he never sees the inside of a cell.
