Dude took one for the team, hope he gets off with a minimal sentence.
I think the easiest way we could help him in the current judicial system is immediately stop paying all our bills and accept foreign investments, organize an insurrection and attempt to overthrow the election, and once you're made president then you can pardon him.
You forgot the first step, pull yourself up by your bootstraps by being born to a father with a real estate business who gives you millions of dollars.
A snall loan, to be sure
A million dollar loan, Nobody makes it on their own.. Without a million dollar loan. You'll reap what you've sown, From a million dollar loan. Call your father on the phone, And get that million dollar loan
The sollest of loans
Jury nullification.
Doesn’t work if “it could happen to my tax returns”.
Which the prosecutors will bring up a lot.
Tax records should be public.
Prosecutor won’t say that.
And defense won’t say that to a brainwashed jury
I'm not trying to be all "if you've got nothing to hide" about this, but unless you're a secret millionaire and you don't want friends to know, why would anyone care?
5 years.
Would have gotten less time if he had just done an insurrection instead
