I wonder what his sentence is going to be? Probably not prison obviously, even though any normal person would’ve already been put in jail for the way he behaved during the trail.
A few thousand hours of community service I think would be a good outcome here.

Why would he not get prison for 34 felony convictions?

In this case, we're talking about a passive, white collar crime in which no one was physically hurt or threatened, plus it's a first offense. I think he'll get probation.

You seem to put a lot of weight into that gag order which was unconstitutional and a blatant violation of the first amendment.
Can you name another person who has gotten one of those?

Why do we try crimes in the US?
So you you can admit that this is a political prosecution.

Well because his an ex president and just may be the president again. If nothing else the logistics just don’t work, since he has to be protected by the secret service 24/7. It’d just be really messy to imprison him on so many levels.
Besides, if you forget about the 10 Contempt of court incidents, he is a first time offender and it’s a non violent felony with no mandatory prison time.
