    My understanding is that we will see an appeal before sentencing on July 11th. If that is not successful, then he will get anything from a slap on the wrist to jail time. Sentencing is likely going to hinge on if he remains the lead Republican candidate. Jail time is going to have a lot of custom rules and exeptions that we are unprepared for; primarily secret secret protection.

      While you are probably right, that is fucking stupid.

        Yeah, give them access to prison video feeds. I am not sure there are strict requirements on what SS protection includes. Heck, give him his own private cell too… putting an inmate in the same cell as him would be cruel and unusual punishment to make someone else smell and listen to his shit all day.

      He has 30 days to appeal… but would you really want to use the same attorneys to appeal that just got you convicted?
