Why is trump not in prison right now? I thought he was convicted on thirty something counts of felonies a couple months ago.
Sentencing is on July 11th. He probably won't see prison time, but one can dream.
Is that normal? That doesn't sound normal. If I, a random nobody from nowherevill got convicted of thirty something felonies in a single trial, would my sentencing be multiple months later? I actually don't know, and that might be because I'm kindof an idiot, but this whole thing smells of bullshit.
If you're out on bail, you're typically allowed to be free until sentencing if you aren't a flight risk.The US justice system moves slow as hell, so this isn't uncommon. If he was a regular poor like us, though, and had to pay bail he couldn't afford, he'd have been jailed throughout the entire case.
It's actually pretty normal for someone with no priors to not serve time for what Trump was convicted of, yes.
That’s if it’s 1.
This is 32 convictions all at once.
And it also depends on that 1.
They weren’t going to not punish Adolf hitler just cuz ‘he didn’t have any priors’ either.
And if anything it depends on what kind of cases.
This is civil. Not criminal. So there’s a good chance he might not. But I’d still believe the ‘no priors’ is not the contest that counts there.
His 34 felonies are in fact criminal. Not 32; 34.
Sentencing is 7/11/24 for 34 felonies related to the hush money/2016 election interference news campaign he pulled off.
The combination of multiple elements made it a felony, elevated from a misdemeanor.
These are criminal charges for falsifying business records for having sex with a porn star and paying to cover it up.
FALSE. Those have been clarified as civil or he would have been in jail already. That’s the entire basis of what constitutes as what impeachment is by definition . That’s actually the only reason to debate he’s not immediately going to jail nor stepped foot behind bars this whole time.
You're wrong. They are felonies.
Has nothing to do with the time as president and everything to do with election tampering actions prior to the election.
A person who has money to cover their bond/surety will remain free until sentencing or until bond is revoked. Post sentencing they have to serve their sentence.

That and the rapes and egregious amounts of fraud that he does constantly. Republicans best choice there.
