I doubt he goes to prison. People who get in trouble for this sorta thing tend to not go to prison. But then again, this one involves a presidential election, so there is a chance.
Any normal person would be thrown in jail after 9 contempts. Not only Trump was still given an 11th chance, but the judge said explicitly it was because he is running. He literally has special treatment, an dis given much lighter punishments for his acts.
I can only assume this will be true for sentencing as well.
Its been a bizarre case because someones already bloody gone to prison for it, the guy he ordered to make the payments. And then they just…chose not to care about trumps involvement.

Trump’s lawyer and fixer got 3 years in jail already for this crime. It was also his first offence. It would be pretty unfair to send the monkey to jail and not the organ grinder for the same crime.
You’re probably right though, Trump is clearly getting special treatment because of his proclivity to stochastic terrorism.

The judge has already admitted in writing that Trump is getting special treatment and much lighter punishment. He is going to get a slap on the wrist.
Damn
Source?
The whole “you might be president” reasoning after the 10th contempt instance.
How does that imply a lighter sentence?

Oh, it’s just your assumption. In that case, I’ll give it zero credibility.
No, it’s precedent.
