I expect he will never spend a day behind bars.
I suspect the same but idk how you can bring someone up on these kinds of charges and just give them probation if convicted. I wish this guy would have just behaved like a normal person so we wouldn't have to deal with this bullshit.
Well, he will hopefully never have the opportunity to repeat his crime. So any punishment will be about dissuading others from following his example.
This time it's different. If this goes to trial he will be convinced with near certainty. The shit he's accused of is incredibly serious, and it sounds like they have him dead to rights.
This time it sounds different. The republican strategy of discrediting the investigation/investigators doesn't really seem to be taking hold. Unlike the Jan 6th investigations, the facts of this case is simple and those causally aware of the case can understand it.
If I'm betting, I'm still betting he sees no real punishment that actually hurts him in any way...buuuuuuut...one big thing here as opposed to his impeachments is that it comes down to a jury and is only about whether he did the things or not. With impeachment, it's much more a political vote than a true judgement of actions.
Yeah, he's far too old to be serving drinks lol
