641 years behind bars? No, but Trump’s risk of prison is real. Of the more than six dozen felonies that Trump is accused of, many often result in harsh sentences. Donald Trump now faces 78 felony charges across three criminal cases — many of them carrying the potential for hefty prison time. If Trump were convicted on all counts and given the maximum statutory penalty for each one, he would face a whopping 641 years in prison. And that’s not counting additional criminal charges he may face in Georgia, where the district attorney in Fulton County may be on the verge of indicting him this month. But the reality of any prison term that Trump could plausibly receive is far more complicated. In both state and federal courts, judges have wide latitude in sentencing. None of the crimes Trump has been charged with carry a mandatory minimum sentence, and defendants with no prior criminal record — a status that, at least for now, applies to Trump — rarely receive the maximum. And if the 77-year-old former president were convicted of multiple counts within the same case, any sentences for those counts might run simultaneously, rather than being stacked on top of each other. More broadly, sending Trump to prison could raise unprecedented practical and legal issues that would be on any judge’s mind. For one thing, there is the extraordinary logistical challenge of jailing a former president who is entitled to around-the-clock Secret Service protection. For another, there is the potential constitutional crisis that could ensue if Trump were reelected to the White House in 2024 and then ordered by a judge to serve out a prison term. Those concerns aside, some of the felonies Trump is accused of — particularly in the two federal cases brought by special counsel Jack Smith — routinely entail significant sentences. Legal experts anticipate that Smith’s team, if they obtain convictions against Trump, will seek substantial prison time in both cases they have brought, one involving his retention of classified documents and the other involving his bid to overturn the 2020 election. Trump himself has even touted the threat of a significant prison sentence in recent fundraising emails, with his campaign and a PAC saying in late July, “While my primary opponents continue to take cheap swipes at me as the Department of Justice plots ways to throw me in JAIL for up to 561 YEARS, I am asking YOU to stand with me at this pivotal moment in the election.” The charges that might carry the most severe penalties for Trump involve obstruction of justice. In both federal cases, Smith has accused him of violating various provisions of the federal statutes that prohibit obstructing official proceedings or obstructing investigations. All of the obstruction charges — which include allegedly impeding the government’s attempts to retrieve the classified documents and disrupting the Jan. 6, 2021, session of Congress — have a 20-year maximum sentence. While Trump’s lack of a criminal record could weigh in favor of a sentence much lower than that, prosecutors might argue that so-called aggravating factors — like Trump’s alleged efforts, in both cases, to pressure others to commit crimes — support a stiffer term. Trump’s willingness, or lack thereof, to accept responsibility if convicted also would play a role in a judge’s sentence. wrbtrader
So Doofus gets a standing ovation every time he walks into Mar-A-Lago's dining room. Well he get the same treatment at (pick a) Fed Prison of your choice?
The Heartland Institute/Rasmussen survey, which was conducted from Nov. 30 to Dec. 6, asked likely voters who cast ballots in 2020 questions about fraudulent activities, without telling them such actions were a form of voter fraud. The results were stunning. One in five people who voted by mail admitted to engaging in at least one kind of potential voter fraud, seriously calling into question the security of widespread mail-in balloting. For example, one question asked, “During the 2020 election, did you cast a mail-in ballot in a state where you were no longer a permanent resident?” Such an action nearly always constitutes fraud. Incredibly, 17 percent of voters said “yes.” Another question asked if “a friend or family member” filled out a respondent’s ballot, “in part or in full,” on behalf of the respondent, which is illegal in some states. Nineteen percent of mail-in voters who responded to the survey answered “yes.” Even more remarkably, 21 percent of respondents admitted to filling out a ballot for someone they know, such as a spouse or child, and 17 percent confessed to signing a ballot or ballot envelope “on behalf of a friend or family member, with or without his or her permission” — both potential forms of illegal voting.
This message paid by Putin Institute for Free and Fair Election hahahahaha 2124 Doofus tRumpers will still be trying to sell election was stowlin' nonsense. Good, better than actually getting involved in serious stuff they are a few braincells short of comprehending.
Trump loves to surround himself with sexual perverts....that way they won't tell on each other. These are sick people. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Delgado made headlines in 2022 when she accused longtime Trump aide and political confidante Jason Miller of engaging in "a cycle of sexual coercion, rape, sexual assault, abuse, battery, sexual harassment, and sex trafficking." 'Irreparable breakdown': Trump campaign law firm suddenly retreats from years-long case A longstanding legal firm serving former President Donald Trump's campaign and businesses is seeking to withdraw from a lengthy case because of “irreparable breakdown in the attorney-client relationship,” according to a new report and court records. The firm LaRocca, Hornik, Greenberg, Rosen, Kittridge, Carlin and McPartland on Friday requested to remove itself from a lawsuit filed by a campaign surrogate who said the campaign sidelined her in 2016 after she revealed she was pregnant, the New York Times was first to report. "The timing of the motion was notable," the Times notes, "just two days after the same federal court had ordered the campaign to turn over in discovery all complaints of sexual harassment and gender or pregnancy discrimination from the 2016 and 2020 campaigns — materials that the defendants have long resisted handing over." The surrogate, A. J. Delgado, is representing herself and objected to the withdrawal in a filing Monday, arguing it should not be allowed until the discovery process has been completed and calling the request a “scheme to avoid compliance," the Times reports. Delgado made headlines in 2022 when she accused longtime Trump aide and political confidante Jason Miller of engaging in "a cycle of sexual coercion, rape, sexual assault, abuse, battery, sexual harassment, and sex trafficking." Lead attorney Jared E. Blumett, in the request in filed in Manhattan federal court, cites a problems he says cannot be fixed.
Hey maybe CZ and DJT can share a cell? Binance founder Changpeng Zhao was sentenced to four months in jail. The Chinese-born crypto billionaire, ranked as the 38th richest person in the world, now becomes the richest person ever to do time in a US federal prison, per Bloomberg. Known best as “CZ,” Zhao pleaded guilty in November to failing to install money laundering safeguards at Binance, which the Justice Department accused of widespread banking violations. Zhao also paid a $50 million fine and agreed to step down as CEO as part of his guilty plea. Prosecutors had sought a three-year sentence. Zhao is the second crypto bigwig to head to jail this year after FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in March.
Hey HamasTrader, guess who was a huge donor to your boy Biden. You are just like Sam Bankman-Fried, but without any money.
