at all. is that because of the appeals process? what exactly is the lawyer saying? help me understand that. trump may never serve any time because as soon as sentencing happens, his lawyers are going to appeal it and that could take years. even if he does get jail time, he s not going to be wearing an orange jumpsuit anytime soon because this is going to be on appeal. i think trump is in some trouble though because he s been insulting the judge so much so there s every reason why the judge could lay the hammer down. but why should we expect that when trump has violated his gag order 10 times and a judge merchan, and experienced and respected judge has refused to treat him like any other defendant, giving him better treatment by avoiding serious sanctions. so i think when it comes down to sentencing, even though george merchan has every reason to send him to jail, i think he avoids doing that. i think that probation or even house arrest is likely the course of action here. dave, you
