TRUMP GUILTY ON ALL 34 COUNTS
TRUMP GUILTY ON ALL 34 COUNTS
The 12 New Yorkers have reached a unanimous decision in the first criminal trial of a former US president.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Slim chance. It's his first offence (first conviction anyway) and a non violent crime. Can't see the judge jailing him, especially given the logistics involved with the Secret Service having to protect him.
Cohen served time for this exact same crime in the exact same state. I think he was sentenced to 3 years and did 1.5 due to covid early release. That was also his first felony.
It's fully possible he gets jail time.
I need this. I didn't know how much I needed this until now.
No you don't. It literally does not affect you.
this actually affects the entire world. We all have our knockoff trumps, and this needs to show them and our countries that there will be consequences for them.
At least, there's the likelyhood of it. Bolsonaro didn't get prison time, but at least he got barred from politics and his passport revoked. Hopefully similar things happen to Fidesz & Orban, Milei and various others.

Yeah I'm sitting there the far side of the Atlantic and I can say with absolute certainty that this affects me. For the better like.
My mother called me in to watch it live on TV. Pure chance that I was in her house. I never watch live TV. We both said that we were watching history.
Sitting here just north of and it absolutely affects us here as well.
Women in Texas have literally seen their rights to their own body stripped away by state level politicians supported by the 5th circuit and further bolstered by SCOTUS.
It quite literally does, affect me.
Oh, I didn't know that. Fingers crossed then!
Given Trump's age though, I just don't think it's likely - much as I would love to see him behind bars.
Stop saying Cohen got convicted for the exact same crime! It's misinformation. They both got a completely different set of counts.
Maybe convicted ex presidents shouldn't get secret service protection
I get what you're saying, but I think without that protection it's pretty likely he'd be killed in prison.
They have protective custody for certain inmates that require protection, for example, Epstein.
I dunno. Epstein was pretty high profile (and it might not have worked out great for him, either), but a former president is really high profile. I have no idea how they would handle it, but if we're lucky enough to see it, it'll be quite interesting for sure
I'm not seeing the downside.
True, but he wasn't sentenced to death. We owe all prisoners the same protections.
It's not like they're going to put him with the general population. And USSS agents don't sign up to be in prison.
IIRC, probably the Secret Service will enter a memorandum of understanding with the New York Department of Corrections, and negotiate who and what goes where. Probably means Trump will get a wing of Rikers to himself.
Don't worry, I have full confidence in the Secret Service's ability to keep Trump perfectly safe while he's making license plates!

or you know, not. doesn't really matter.
Ah that's probably true. He's rich and white enough to end up in a resort prison, I'm sure.
Not in solitary confinement (unless he's on suicide watch ofc)
So you support leaking the country's biggest secrets just because he did bad thing?
He leaked the country's biggest secrets when he gave classified documents to foreign adversaries. Stop trying to pretend that's what you're actually worried about. You're always defending Trump. You're just worried about his well being, not our country.
I knew this was coming.
He leaked
I was more referring to one of the general reasons that the Secret Service stays with ALL presidents forever.
You’re always defending Trump
Um, this is literally the first time I have ever commented about the man in my entire life.
He already sold them.
