It would take some balls to convict and sentence a President-elect, and of course Trump would have major personal grievances against the Judge, but if justice is blind, he deserves the same punishment as any other New Yorker who would have committed such crimes 34 times.
Also, it would’ve been a faster trial and sentencing.
If blind, he would’ve been sentenced before election.
he’s not in office.
his interference in 2016 helped get him there the first time.
his current status is partly due to that as well.
he deserves a max sentence for the significance of the events occurring in-part as a result of the illegal election interference for which he was convicted.
He’s clearly unrepentant. His behavior during the trial shows that.

Let’s guess: guilty but no penalties
Maybe they could fine him a couple thousand dollars and tell him not to do it again or else.
I doubt Trump would even pay a token fine. The consequences for not paying a fine is that the punishment could escalate, but the punishment can’t escalate so why pay?
That bitch prolly got “paying a fine for felonies” insurance
I know it won’t happen, but I would love to see him be dictator “on day one only” while in Riker’s.
What do you think won’t happen? That he’ll go to Rikers, or that he’ll only be a dictator for one day?
The former. Well both. I don’t think it will just be one day.

He is not a sitting president yet.

He was not a sitting president when the offenses occurred in 2016, either, when he had yet to be elected. Even if the “presidential immunity” ruling could somehow be twisted to apply to this as if it were an official act, he was in no way shape or form president at that time.
He will face no consequences and that’s fucking garbage

Convict him, lock him up, and tell Vance “If you leave him there you get to be the president.”
Yeah not much of a consolation prize there… 😐
Ill take it
At least the guy knows how to order donuts for large group
The last assassination attempt was to try to get Vance in.
I can already tell ya he’s free to go.
Does it even matter at this point? Can’t he just throw pardons everywhere as needed once he takes office?
Presidential pardons can only be for federal crimes and he has NY state convictions. That judge has the power to put him in jail for most of his term (subject to appeal)
Sounds good.
President in prison his entire term.
They’ll wear Prison President as a badge of honor.
Not the dumbest thing they’d be wearing. Wouldn’t even make top 5
Fuck is there somewhere online I can place a bet on this?
Might as well turn a profit off if this horrible fucking clown show.
Sad day for many of my hopes
