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."

The Republican leaders should be all over the TV saying, if he dies, there will be murder charges as appropriate for Directors and Agency heads.
Haven’t seen Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham is in hiding.
The letter writers can’t be bothered.
I stand corrected, sir
Trump should notify the judge he no longer recognizes his tyrannical authority and won’t be showing on July 11.
They did not cross the rubicon to now simply slap his wrist.“
Yep, this was go for broke. they want it to be the kill shot. Think “if you go after the king you have to kill him
They would be fine with Trump’s demise. The American people would not.
the democrats/marxists and the democrat judge put President Trump in prison. then they will try to Epstein/assassinate him.
Then Trump supporters will make peaceful protests after they murder Trump in prison.
The evil news media and democrats in the government agencies will fake another J6 but bigger this time so the democrats can declare martial law cancel elections , install socialism
June 11 they put him in prison then Epstein him. America freedom has 1 month and a half left unless they take it the Supreme court and they accept it asap.
Must Make Emergency appeal to the Supreme court to stop this stealing of the election,imposing of socialism which will destroy civilization as Mises proved in his book “socialism an analysis..

Even if they don’t declare martial law they will Epstein him and implement socialism in 2025 . America / freedom / capitalism has 1 year left at most unless supreme court or we do something to stop these marxist democrat cretins
My democrat neighbor doesn’t agree. He sent out a congratulatory email to everyone on his email list. He doesn’t think it was a mistake, he is in ecstasy and is eagerly awaiting the sentencing hoping for many years. People underestimate the irrational hatred the left has for Trump and his supporters. They would be happy if we could all be locked up with him.
You are 100% right my FRiend. Cavuto is the poster child of faux scum.
People like Merchan need to be made to suffer.
Only he lost.
Yeah I thought about home fine ment as well. Allows secret service and takes him off campaign trail.
However given where things are now this judge may not want to give him “special treatment” and decide to actually put him in the joint.
Can you imagine the dem politicians reaching out to talk to this judge now?
Home confinement is not special Treatment....He’s 77.
Exactly. And they are now drunk with power after yesterdays “victory” and will shoot for the moon with sentencing. Vile creatures.
Great idea.
Oh I don’t doubt that there’s a bunch of low IQ immoral witch hunt happy Democrats out there. They’ve the foresight of a nat. He’s probably ecstatic! A book keeping issue and an NDA for a non-felon should never arise to prison - but to those morons they think he should get 30 years. They’d be fine if he dies in prison.
That’s the kind of people they are. Fools. I bet he doesn’t have any instincts about the rage that is building, he’s probably too naive to think anything would ever be done about it. To them it’s just sport, and to him, “we won!”. Yeah...ok buddy.
It’s so true. I know many people like this. They are giddy. And yes, they hate us too. Be careful around people like this—seriously.
doesn’t matter if he does, because Trump will post bail pending appeal
A 10 billion dollar bail may be hard to pay.
