judge will decide the SC ruling doesn't apply here as pointed out above-- it was before his presidency. That might just take a few days, not counting inevitable appeals.

Truthfully, if the sentencing is going to be a stern lecture and a slap on the wrist, I'd just as soon it gets delayed or trump will run around saying it was not big deal with no real consequences.

Now, if he's getting prison time, hope judge stays with July 11 and Marshals take him into immediate custody. He won't even have anyone in the court to yell "I love you" as he's hauled away.

Just conjecture. There's little chance he will go directly to jail, but we can hope. Most of the legal "experts" I see Silent Type Jul 2024 #9
