Democratic pollster and former Clinton adviser Mark Penn said Friday during an appearance on Fox News Channel that he believes Judge Juan Merchan will sentence former President Donald Trump to serve some jail time because he's "trying to take him out of the presidential race."
"So far, this judge has wanted to take, obviously, wants to take Donald Trump out of the presidency," Penn said during an appearance on "Your World with Neil Cavuto" on Friday. "So, for all this talk that, of course, he's a first time offender and not eligible ... he's convicted of things that could send you to jail for 137 years. I think this judge is going to sentence him to some jail because he's trying to take him out of the presidential race."
Should Merchan sentence Trump to serve some time in jail, Penn said he believes the move will lead to "another record fundraising day" for the presumptive Republican nominee for president.
"Giving [Trump] a fine or community service isn't gonna do that. If he does that, I suppose Donald Trump will have another record fundraising day," he said.
Trump's sentencing hearing on the charges is scheduled for July 11, just days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Penn said he expects Trump to receive an "incredible reception at that convention, unlike anything he's ever gotten before."

But it’s not “election interference.”
It’s “democracy.”
Can’t say what I’d like to write about people aiming....
Come on New York
Vindicate your damn self
Clickbait.
America is over, if that is the case.
They did not cross the rubicon to now simply slap his wrist.
>>>democracy
It’s not democracy.
It’s Democratic only democracy.
When is Trump’s next rally? We should do as least as well as did Bolsonaro with hundreds of thousands.
Sure it won’t keep Trump out of jail but maybe it will make this fraud impossible for the world to ignore.
They’re going to do what they deem is best politically.
They is no opposition side to fight them.
If they don’t go for jail time, it’s simply a political strategy.
The law has nothing to do with any of this.

“You’re not gonna believe it. It’ll bigger and more beautiful than anything you’ve seen before.”

probable plan of the corrupt antiConstitutional judge:
force DJT to remain in NY — missing the convention.
Gnostic Witchcraft.
Eugene V. Debs in 1920 ran for president from prison.
For the first time in history a president gets elected while sitting in jail.
How do you like them apples you scumbags.
Why start now?
This sham prosecution and trial was certainly not a politically astute endeavor.
Move up the date of the convention. Lara Trump could do it.
I wish it was simply clickbait. This case was supposed to be the worst case of all time and a a guarantee for a hung jury or maybe they would do a misdemeanor. Then guilty on 34 counts comes along. There are no guarantees.
In this sham case they left nothing to chance.
We need to move the RNC convention up one week so Trump will be the official opposition candidate when he is sentenced to jail. Joe Biden’s fingerprints are all over this lawfare.
Absolutely. They're are fully invested. Why stop now?
