They'll claim he's old and sick and they'll just bracelet him and tell him to stay in the house and watch TV for 3 years. Plus a fine, i guess.

Remember, this creep, along with other Re-Thug hypocrites, had the long knives out for Clinton.
I hope he's carried away in shackles, crying and pleading and he's miserable the rest of his sorry life.

... he'll be free awaiting appeal, and he'll keep delaying for the rest of his life if need be.

He's got money and connections, so he's above the law.

He'll get a fine.

His original crimes aren't going to be prosecuted, even though Illinois no longer has a statute of limitations on sex crimes against children.

He'll pay a few thousand bucks and skate away.
