    Sure, but whether he wait in jail or not has little impact on the final verdict. People think that this is a sign of a sympathetic judge, but really the reason why they’re so prudent, why it took so long, and why they’re making such grand efforts to go easy on him is because they want to take absolutely 0 risks. It is all coldly planned, they’re patient and he’s gonna end up in a cell (not in general pop prison, but in a cell regardless, with a bed and a toilet.)

    I mean, I can’t tell the future, but I think I’ve had a good track record about trump so far. To me, it seems obvious that his power and influence already failed him. Influent people get away from it all by avoiding investigations, and/or avoiding prosecution by a sympathetic AG, and/or by making a deal with the DOJ, and/or by having the case dismissed. None of this is happening, and short of SCOTUS saving his ass (won’t happen), he’s out at the mercy of the jurors. There is no way out of 91 criminal charges, it is absolutely overkill.

      I hope you’re right. I’m generally an optimistic person, but in this, it’s difficult to maintain a positive outlook anymore.
