I don't think this particular case would involve prison time. The other ones if indicted, yes. But from what I've read it seems like he wouldn't face prison for this.

But from what I've read it seems like he wouldn't face prison for this.It never ceases to amaze me what sort of stories people invent about Trump. It used to be that he would never be indicted. Now that it’s obvious he will be and this is only the start - now he doesn’t mind and this is all a part of the plan.
No need to play 8-D chess here - he’s panicked because he’s scared of going to prison. He should be scared too.
He’s facing 34 felony counts. He is in serious danger of prison.I don't think this particular case would involve prison time. The other ones if indicted, yes. But from what I've read it seems like he wouldn't face prison for this.
Again, from what I have read from multiple sources it seems like prison time is highly unlikely.He’s facing 34 felony counts. He is in serious danger of prison.
Under the New York State penal code, a conviction for the Class E felony of falsifying business records can result in a prison term of up to four years. But as a practical matter, that seems extremely unlikely. “No one gets jail time for that as a first offender,” said a New York law enforcement official.
The chances of Donald Trump spending any time behind bars over his historic New York indictment are slim to none, according to legal experts.
First-offenders virtually never go to jail on the kind of non-violent, low-level felonies that Trump's lawyers currently believe he faces, from an indictment with an expected top charge of falsifying business records in the first degree,
Former Brooklyn prosecutor Arthur Aidala recently told Insider: “I can’t say for absolute 100 per cent certainty there can’t be jail because on the books, he can go to jail… [But] I do not see a scenario where Donald Trump spends one minute in jail.”
If anyone should, a president should. If we don't hold our leaders accountable, there's no purpose in the law to begin with.Again, from what I have read from multiple sources it seems like prison time is highly unlikely.

Well we will see. I bet if convicted Trump is sentenced to prison time. For some weird reason people keep predicting he will get away with it and despite being wrong over and over they keep making the same wrong predictions.Again, from what I have read from multiple sources it seems like prison time is highly unlikely.

If people want to tell themselves ‘he will be convicted of 34 felonies and face no jail time’ they can do that but I think they are deluding themselves.If anyone should, a president should. If we don't hold our leaders accountable, there's no purpose in the law to begin with.
But what can you do when one party refuses to hold their members accountable?If anyone should, a president should. If we don't hold our leaders accountable, there's no purpose in the law to begin with.
Trump is absolutely a salesmen, he's been peddling his brand for years.It never ceases to amaze me what sort of stories people invent about Trump. It used to be that he would never be indicted. Now that it’s obvious he will be and this is only the start - now he doesn’t mind and this is all a part of the plan.
No need to play 8-D chess here - he’s panicked because he’s scared of going to prison. He should be scared too.
We will see. If I were a betting man I would bet he is not the nominee for precisely the reason you mention - people know he will lose the general election.
I hear you but the people who vote in state primaries are the craziest of the crazy. I think presidential primaries are the one primary where relatively normal people vote and I think they care about winning a lot.Logically this makes total sense but seeing the choices GOP voters have made in their primaries for statewide offices gives me some pause that it is operative.
Assault by making loud noises? Who's the snowflake now?lol. Why did this idiot come to NYC of all places for a pro-Trump protest? New York has hated this clown long before the rest of the country figured it out.

It always makes me laugh when people say ‘I voted for Trump twice but I totally wasn’t going to vote for him a third time until someone was mean’. Lol. Yes, you were.gotta love NYC!
I read an article yesterday that Trump's indictment has turned some of his supporters from leaning DeSantis to now firmly back in Trump's camp. They just feel that Trump doesn't deserve this and they need to back him to fight the corrupt communist Dems who are now trying to imprison political enemies. The quotes that were from the interviews of these nasty people were something else. I mean anybody that would vote for Trump a third time is just sickening trash.
I'm not sure how anyone knows whether jail time is likely. What I've read, and what Cy Vance said on Meet the Press, is that this has actually never been prosecuted as a felony. Falsification of business records is always a misdemeanor because the statute which says it can be a felony is unclear. Basically, for it to be a felony, Trump has to have falsified the records in furtherance of another crime. Which here is difficult to prove.
They are anticipating this as Trump's number 1 defense, that it can't be prosecuted as a felony because there is no proof of intent to commit another crime. If Trump succeeds in this defense, then it's a misdemeanor, and since the misdemeanor has a 2 year statute of limitations, Trump gets off scott free.
But if Bragg succeeds in proving intent to commit another crime, and it's a felony, then there is no precedant to determine how much, if any, jail time is likely.
And that would be for a "normal" civilian. Not someone with the added logistical nightmare of how do you incarcerate someone with around the clock 24/7 USSS armed protection.

Just going to throw it out there that an individual who 60% of the country thinks should be in prison is not a formidable candidate.CNN poll shows 60% general support for Trump being indicted:
That is 94% of democrats, 62% of independents and 21% of republicans.
Also, Trump's net approval held steady at 24%, but ticked up by 4% among republicans since he was indicted.
