What are the chances of Trump actually serving time in prison?

[Carlitos Brigante]

1. No clue. nt

[LuckyCharms]

2. I'd say pretty good chances, if he doesn't croak first. n/t

[Liberty Belle]

3. I'm betting high, unless he dies before then.

[Kennah]

4. US or Russian?

[Ocelot II]

5. There are complications, of course, particularly wrt the Secret Service

and other security concerns. And technically he can run for president from prison, and maybe even BE president. House arrest might be the solution - an ankle bracelet and no internet access?

6. I'd say Zero.

House Arrest at best.

[DavidDvorkin]

7. And if he does go to prison, will it be a real prison or a country club?

[Bleacher Creature]

8. I think there's a very good chance he gets some form of home confinement.

Hopefully with significant restrictions, including no golf. I've heard arguments that he's too much of a security risk to put in prison, which makes sense as I can totally see him selling secrets.

14. Confined to the White House?

[Rhiannon12866]

16. They were saying tonight that he might be required to wear an ankle bracelet starting Tuesday!

[prodigitalson]

9. higher than they were this morning

[orangecrush]

15. ...

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

10. I just want him CONVICTED first! A FELONY conviction! Don the Con! lololololol

all the rest, orange jumpsuit, shackled, all good too!

11. While I think chances are small, he's a lot closer now than several weeks ago.

And he’s probably still facing more charges. Still skeptical about a jury convicting him, but not as doubtful as months ago. If they have some proof of him providing info to foreign countries or an intent to do so, then odds go way up.

In any event, he’s going to stressed out and he deserves it.

12. Sentenced to do time... moderately high. In what we think of as an actual prison? Low I'd imagine.

It seems highly unlikely Trump will literally end up behind bars. Even a cushier "Club Fed" prison is hard to imagine because of the security logistics.

If he gets house arrest it sure as hell better not be as cushy as remaining at Mar-a-Lago, unless maybe he's limited to using a converted storage room.

[Hekate]

13. Moscow is nice in July

[allegorical oracle]

17. Slim. A jury could fear a violent blow-back similar to the J6 attack. Then, again, we haven't

seen the charges.

Still say I'd settle for a verdict that forbids him from ever running for, or being appointed to, public office ever again. He's dangerous all the time, but never more than when he can order public officials to do his bidding or produce executive orders to alter our way of life both nationally and internationally.

Have that same fear of a DeSatan holding any office.

18. 50/50

I thought it was zero until very recently, but these are the types of charges people go to prison for.

[anarch]

19. I'd have to say slim to none

I think, even if he is convicted and sentenced, he will shuffle off this mortal coil before he gets locked up.

I won't be surprised if he tries to flee the country.

Given the extent of his wrongdoing (in my opinion), I don't think there's even a punishment that would really be adequate anyway...personally I'll be satisfied if the extent and nature of his crimes is truly and fully made known to the general public, and if he's banned from holding any kind of office ever again. I'm generally against the whole concept of prison anyway...I wish he could be banished from the Earth.
