    …I have only the vaguest understanding of why this is important or how much, other than I really don’t want him to not face consequences or god forbid wind up in office again. Like are they actually going to send him to prison? If they do send him to prison, are the alt-right insane enough to try to spring him? Does this make it easier or harder to discipline politicians in the future? What is the weirdness I keep hearing about various judges being on or not on his side or is that a different thing?

    Honestly more than keep me constantly anxious the 24h news cycle mostly just keeps me constantly disoriented. I can never keep any of these stories straight or remember which ones do affect each other.

      Dumb guy so grain of salt, but my understanding is we’ll hear sentencing in July. Quite likely not spending time in prison (but I’d love to be wrong). I just hope it’s a harsher sentence than 34 wrist slaps, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

      Refreshing to see something productive here though. Quite sick of the circus by now.
