I also have not dismissed the idea that after Trump is convicted, prosecutors will ask for no jail time.
Do not dismiss that possibility.

Why do you think I have been yelling that time matters in indicting Trump? I get responses about ducks in a row.

Home confinement maybe, fine the crap out of him sure.

(33,643 posts)he profited by exposing top-secret info to a foreign government, then MAYBE he gets 30 days or something like that.
I'd expect probation, fine, perhaps passport revocation.
Come to think of it, if THAT happened ... he'd have a hard time being POTUS wouldn't he?

(115,406 posts)...I doubt that he would ever be sentenced to any time.
A more likely outcome would be that a jury would find him guilty of "crimes" but the penalties would not be imprisonment.
It would be something more like, "prohibits from running for public office again and prohibited from any involvement in political campaigns". He might be sentenced to an "ankle bracelet" for several months and no foreign travel. All political PACs would be ended and he would have to turn over all funds to his Party, the GOP.
No one would be happy.
