    I think the best we can hope for is house arrest, which would still be really good since he couldn’t campaign. I doubt he will go to prison even though it would be amazing and hilarious to see him in those paper thin orange prison jump suits. He could be roommates with Nicholas Tartaglione, but I can only get so optimistic

      He won’t, he’ll just go to the pub and have a pint, and this will all blow over. Rich people don’t have to follow the laws in America, you see

        Maximum sentence per conviction is 5k or 4 years in prison… he’ll get a $170k fine then head down to the Winchester

        Couldn’t agree more, and I’ve been a constant critic of the legal infatuation with Trump for years now. But on the day of the verdict, I’ll permit myself a little misguided celebratory hope, as a treat
