Trump has been convicted. Here's what happens next
CNBC (Business News) ^ | 30 May 2024 | Kevin Breuninger

Posted on 05/30/2024 3:04:54 PM PDT by zeestephen

The charges against Trump are Class E felonies, the least serious category under New York law...Experts tend to think it is highly unlikely that Trump will face any jail time as a result of the hush money verdict...Due to the immense and complex challenges of incarcerating a former president, the judge might instead opt for a sentence of house arrest...The U.S. Constitution...does not bar felons from holding its highest office.

“they will attempt to kill President Trump rather than let him win.”

I concur.

Next comes post verdict motions from Trump’s lawyers to dismiss, and then the appellate filings start.

New York criminal appeals take six months on average, past the election.

"Experts tend to think it is highly unlikely that Trump will face any jail time as a result of the hush money verdict."

Is that the same "Experts" that were saying "There's no way possible Trump could be found guilty."??

It'll be jail time, and you can bet your rubber duck on it..! :(

Bad article. Appeal is the next step.

Next stop. The Manhattan appeals court.

“The DEMOCRATS have this country in lockdown and completely in control. Any protests tonight, anywhere? No, because the DEMS know our nature and we have given up, their J6 imprisonments sealed the deal. We are beat hound dogs.”

Sadly, you couldn’t be more correct.

The most our side can ever muster is “we don’t stoop to that level. That’s not who we are.”

The left gets a big kick out of that, no doubt.

Careful, Divine judgements don’t always spare the innocent.

The COVID jabs were harvested from planned aborted babies. Trump, wittingly or not, pushed this demonic jab on the masses.

Won’t happen until after the election. He will run as a convicted criminal, and millions of people who otherwise would have voted for him, becoming recent converts politically, will stay home.

America may be getting its due judgment.

It may be that it is being removed from the bigger picture.

Israel will be alone with only God to call on.

The Armageddon pieces coming into view?

If Biden can campaign from his basement, Trump can campaign from house arrest or even jail.

It may not be that easy. Biden had complete legitimacy as a regular nominee, grounded because of a pandemic. Trump's legitimacy as a candidate has been damaged by the criminal conviction. Media will not give him the same credibility.

I’ve been praying for him nightly for eight years. Hasn’t done much good

You cannot know that.   Much worse might have happened.

Well that would be even more election interference on the part of the judge, compounding his many intentional “errors” during the trial. Trump’s DoJ should charge him, and the entire NY attorneys office thusly.

Ha! I dare them. I double dog dare them.

My only caveat is that Republicans are so worried about their reputations being tarnished that they don’t stand behind them.

In my little town, every single town council member who voted for a development that skirted all of the normal rules we have here was voted out as soon as we were allowed to vote them out.

I say this as a warning to RINOs. If you keep Donald Trump off the ballot in November, we will write him in, and YOU will be voted OUT!!!

I’m watching.

But if you remember the average citizen believed at the time that election fraud was a conspiracy theory. We were marginalized successfully by the media.

Reading this greatly frustrates me.   I saw it happening and was very vociferous on this forum the morning after the election.   Why wouldn't you believe me?
