  2. If Trump’s found guilty, it would likely result in home confinement. He will never see the inside of a prison.

  3. Yeah, I’ll believe Trump will face justice when he actually does.

  4. Mistrial due to not having enough of my supporters on the jury. Everyone knows I’m innocent of everything, and Biden is guilty of everything. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Fox News, OANN, NewsCorp, Rudy Giuliani, Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, and 500 million other Americans.
    Even ask John Barron, John Baron, John Miller and David Dennison for their opinions. /s

  6. I’m almost certain you’re going to see a hung jury. I do not trust a single jury of 12 to not contain at least one cultist.

  8. Trump has complained daily, saying that the area around his trial is closed off. Can’t wait to see what he has to say about gen pop.

  9. The Defense team will rest on Monday, with no defense offered.

  10. Or, you know, those things called facts that are overwhelmingly in the favor of the prosecutors.

  11. The law does give the prosecutors an edge in that he broke it and left a paper trail.

  12. As Any Trial Nears Its End, Breaking the Law May Give Defendants a Disadvantage

  15. The law, the facts, the reality. All these things are against Trump.

  16. Remember, it just takes one juror to say no, and he walks. Don’t count on this being any different than the thousand other times he walked.

  18. Good…Throw the book at him, he’s a threat snd scunbag!

  19. A guilty verdict will negatively affect his standing with moderate Rs and Independents. I don’t see him going to prison from this but I can’t see how this doesn’t harm his election chances.

  20. >Mr. Trump, who faces probation or up to four years in prison

    can you guess what his sentence will actually be?

  21. Please, a verdict will just be the first step of this. This will get appealed to the Supreme Court somehow. Trump won’t see a jail cell until 2025, and even then I’d expect hell be on a Russian diplomatic flight so some Middle Eastern country without a extradition treaty with the US.

  23. every prosecutor ever has been given an edge by the law since they’re prosecuting someone for breaking said law….. this is how trials work

  25. What kind of punishments are we looking at with a guilty verdict? Are we just going to see another fine and a stern wag of the finger? Which Trump will still appeal and be Scott free for another 2 years?
