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."

Trump may not survive prison. He is not a young Mandela.
When Trump is re-elected, this pig must be delt with.
ARREST
PROSECUTE
DISBAR
STRIP OF CITIZENSHIP
IMPRISON
DEPORT
That is NOT vengeance. Its JUSTICE and DETERANCE!
Yes, the convention date MUST be moved up!
Could that be their end game?
Cavuto is a vile piece of trash.
Send wetback merchan back to Bogata where he grew up and his third world tactics work. Disbar him.
And I don’t recall a “President Debs”
And I don’t recall a “President Debs”
cavuto thinks he a capo.
Lara Trump is the RNC co chair.
I don’t know if the evil cur will jail President Trump, or not.
But if he does send the opposite party’s nominee to jail, I would expect his attorneys to file an emergency certiorari writ with the Supremes. And I’ll bet they’ll take it up AND stay the jail time. This is constitutional crisis territory.
I am sure the dirty foreign dog Merchan knows this too. Will it cause him to stay his own jail sentence, or forego it completely? Who knows.
As President Trump often says, “we’ll just have to wait and see what happens”.
Keep PDJT, his family, and his legal team covered in prayer.
They’re going to try to jail him, separate him from his Secret Service, then do an Epstein. There will of course be an official story and anyone questioning it will be called a conspiracy theorist. Some of will complain and be upset, but most will go back to watching the NFL and Kardashians.
Home confinement I would guess...
My guess too.
That’s why I put “democracy” in scare quotes.
He’ll send his sons....And I think they will do a hell of a job...

This is why all the Deep State RINOS needed to be thrown overboard.
The people in there only know how to go on shows and pretend they’re angry and then writing meaningless letters.
1 or 2 fighters out of 535 in Congress isn’t going to cut it.
The always surrender crowd put us here and we are totally at the mercy of Dem Thugs.
I was attacked here for saying non-angelic things about Jill Biden, the biggest grifter of all.
IMHO this was always a lose-lose situation for the D’s. Blinded by their own hatred they were compelled to try and ‘take him down’ by any means necessary. What they didn’t foresee was in their zeal they’d be exposed. This case was pathetic. Everyone, including D’s, saw this for what it was - nothing but the political persecution of a political enemy.
Outside of those blinded by dripping hatred, everyone saw it. At that point it was lose-lose. An acquittal means it was just a witch hunt, Trump gets stronger. A conviction just makes everyone angry, Trump gets stronger.
Maybe the real end-goal is to give him prison time because they know *somebody*, or group, will become violent....then they can smear all his supporters - but it still wont change anything, more will vote for him with increased determination.
As for those saying “justice was served”, take names, don’t forget.
Hey that is Dr. Grifter!
