He's Trump, so he has to continue to get beneficial treatment.

It's also a non-violent felony, so that's probably the reason he even has the option to be released until sentencing.

Ah, true. That makes sense.

I'm stunned. I didn't think there was any way that they could achieve a unanimous decision. You only had to slip in one juror to create a hung jury.

And of all the charges against him, this case didn't seem as solid as the classified documents and especially the Georgia "find me 11K+ votes phone recording."

Liz Cheney must be chuckling over a glass of wine right now.

lucky his words are going to be pretty harmful for the sentencing. can you get a top secret clearance if your a felon???

It's just the nature of him being an ex-president. They would have to figure out how to house him with SS agents rotating shifts in the prison.

I see @Farb and @SaintForLife are waiting on approved talking points before offering their opinions.

I'm here for them... let it begin.

Farb just made a post 2 hours ago trying to say most Americans wouldn't care about a conviction. The delusion is hilarious.

You technically can, but it definitely will hurt your case when applying for clearance. If he becomes President Felon, then they'd have no choice but to grant the clearance because of the need to know nature of the job and there's no constitutional prohibition on felons becoming President.

But maybe there's more to it than I know. Not sure.

I also can't figure out why Nikki Haley didn't wait until after the verdict to decide to announce that she'd vote for Trump.

Well, that just goes to show how crummy her judgement is.

We probably could have a thread on what does the Republican party do now? They have less then 7 weeks before the convention.

Since Cohen went to jail for charges of tax evasion, making false statements to a federally-insured bank, and campaign finance violations, doesn't that justify Trump doing jail as well? I think only the campaign finance was associated with Trump, but that carries a maximum of 5 years in prison.

Sentencing is July 11. The first debate is June 27. It’s a perfect window where the sentence doesn’t matter, only that Trump is a convicted felon.

I just want Biden to blame any debate microphone feedback as interference from Trump’s ankle monitor.

trump forced them to to give his son in law a clearance when he would not qualify.

So, according to the legal experts, most Class E convictions in New York end with fines and probation, likely community service. Very few times is jail time involved.

Speaking of Jared, now he and Ivanka have something else in common: both of their fathers were convicted of felonies.

Oh, please please please put him in an orange jump suit and make him pick up trash along the highway.

They're also the only two with the addition of Melania who never showed up at the trial.
