  - they're sitting on the Jan 6th immunity case -- nm - hollywood big shot May 30, 15:01 3
    - Which is unrelated to this case. -- nm - Mop🧹 May 30, 15:04 2
      - it's all related, it's the T**** Era, it's what's next in judicial matters .. on the grand chessboard in our political zeitgeist it is SCOTUS's move. -- nm - mud May 30, 15:30
      - substantively. but it's playing procedural games to shield him from further (likely) convictions before the election, or ever -- nm - hollywood big shot May 30, 15:07

Up to 4 years prison per count -- nm - budice May 30, 14:47 14
- Maximum of 20 years though. -- nm - JaxSean May 30, 15:04
- I'm seeing the sentences MUST run concurrently, so 4 years is the max. -- nm - decline May 30, 14:55 5
  - my (totally uneducated guess) is probation though -- nm - decline May 30, 14:56 4
    - First offence, non-violent. No way he gets jail time. -- nm - mafic May 30, 14:59 2
      - everyone else tried for these felons has been given & served jail time. -- nm - Peglegpete May 30, 15:06
      - he might get less than Cohen but i think two years would be eminently reasonable -- nm - hollywood big shot May 30, 15:01
    - I could see some sort of house arrest just because of the logistics of putting Trump in jail. -- nm - pmb May 30, 14:57

“Our whole country is being rigged right now," LOL what does that even mean? -- nm - Jovian May 30, 14:38 1

Can a convicted felon vote in *checks my notes* Florida? -- nm - Mop🧹 May 30, 14:32 12
- No, I don't think so. -- (link) - JaxSean May 30, 14:39 11
  - FL voters passed the amendment restoring felon rights but then the legislature (illegally) required all "fines and restitution" be made - hollywood big shot May 30, 14:42 1
    - I think even that, though only restored voting rights after sentence was served. -- nm - pmb May 30, 14:47
  - But his conviction is in NY and convicted felons can vote there, apparently. -- nm* - JaxSean May 30, 14:41 8
    - He's a Florida citizen. -- nm - pmb May 30, 14:47 3
      - Yes but the link above says they refer to the state where the conviction occurred. - JaxSean May 30, 15:03 2
        
        Interesting. I would have thought it was the other way around. -- nm - pmb May 30, 15:06 1

    - This wasn't a federal trial? -- nm - Mop🧹 May 30, 14:41 3
      - It is a federal trial, not a state trial. Not sure why people are thinking it is. Only the case in GA is a state trial. -- nm - Jovian May 30, 14:43 2
        
        this was a NY state proceeding (because the Trump AUSA in SDNY refused to bring it federally) -- nm - hollywood big shot May 30, 14:45 1
        
        oh really? I didnt know that. I was always under belief that of the four trials, only GA was a state trial. -- nm - Jovian May 30, 14:48
Does the jury have to be unanimous? There was at least one... let's say... Fox News viewer on the jury, right? And they voted to convict? - Mop🧹 May 30, 14:30 1

Sentencing on July 11th and appeal denied -- nm - LMS May 30, 14:23 4
- given his repeated violations of the gag order, shoulda taken him into custody on the spot -- nm - hollywood big shot May 30, 14:26
- Appeal denied? -- nm - amandaphone May 30, 14:26 2
  - acquittal denied. -- nm - Jovian May 30, 14:26 1
    - Ahhhh -- nm - amandaphone May 30, 14:27
Is calling the judge “corrupt” who will sentence you a good or bad idea? -- nm - oblique May 30, 14:23 6
- in theory Trump should now be in jail until the first day of the appeal arguements in court. -- nm - Peglegpete May 30, 14:26 4
  - Really, I don't think anybody convicted of these crimes would be in jail pending sentencing. I think it's unlikely he gets jail time. -- nm - pmb May 30, 14:31 3
    - I think given all his contemptuous acts leading up to and during the trial, this judge will have no problem banging him for a year -- nm - hollywood big shot May 30, 14:33
    - It's interesting because other people involved in this whole thing DID serve jail time. Soooo - talk about a double standard. - Turd Ferguson May 30, 14:33 1
      - Cohen got three years for his role on the federal side. not sure what the NY statutory min/max is -- nm - hollywood big shot May 30, 14:35
