Maybe it’s my doomerism at play, but even one year house arrest I’d be OK with. Keep him in NY in his Trump Tower penthouse. Don’t let him go out to campaign.
Obviously jail would be better. I just don’t think fines alone are going to cut it. He’s not going to pay them.
We gotta break the seal. It has to be jail. He tried to kill the vice president, he stole classified documents and got dozens of CIA assets killed, he explicitly sides with the enemies of the US and against the American people. He wants to shoot protestors and have the military seize the voting machines.
I understand the reluctance. This particular thing, as weird as it is, wasn’t actually all that bad. But you gotta break the seal. It’s like when you’re leaving an abusive partner; the idea of really pulling the trigger is terrifying, because what’s gonna happen? And there’s no going back. But we have to.
I’m hoping for 1 year in jail
The un popular note here is that it’s super uncommon for them to give prison to a first time convicted in a class E crime that this falls under.
So the likelihood of prison is low, and if it does happen it will be against the norm.
Held in contempt 10 times
