Probation is possible for this type of white collar felony but Trump was already convicted of criminal contempt due to violating the gag order 10 times while in trial. The gag order is still in place until sentencing on July 11 but he keeps running his mouth and will most likely violate it again. So instead of probation he could get up to 4 years per count but usually they would be run concurrent.
His mouth is going to take probation to federal pound you in the ass penitentiary.
I want to believe!
But this is a state case so the best we can hope for is actually serving some prison time in a state penitentiary and the upside is that it should be in Rikers!
While I earnestly support Trump getting everything he deserves, Rikers needs SERIOUS reform and honestly probably to be torn down.
Thousands of people are held at Rikers for months before ever seeing a judge or being arraigned, because cash bail keeps them locked up, and overloaded courts keep them there for longer
How about:
We take everyone out of Rikers, move them somewhere better, and just put Trump there?
I wholeheartedly agree.
But then again we should use all the tools currently available to us. It would be nice to see him there.
Right? Trump should be in the worst prison we have. If that's too inhumane for Trump, it's too inhumane for all the other people there as well, but that's a separate issue.
