@MsMissy @heidilifeldman @Lana @GottaLaff @Nonilex I came here to say exactly this. Everything Trump now says and does that fails to show contrition may be considered at sentencing and increases the likelihood of him facing jail time.

Our media will endlessly broadcast Trump's lies about his investigations and indictments being a #WitchHunt but they'll never accurately describe the Republican efforts to take down Joe Biden through his son Hunter as an actual Witch Hunt.
Why is that?
“Mrs. Alito Isn't the Problem: Justice Alito lied to the media and to the public. His judicial integrity cannot be trusted. And he doesn't care that you know it.” https://www.thebulwark.com/p/mrs-alito-isnt-the-problem
I hope the jury & judge & the lawyers & the DA & their families are protected & safe. The convict better not target them. But we know he will.
Okay, the trial is now over. Can we please talk about some of the other damn issues that we face.

@DemocracyMattersALot Found guilty on all 34 counts. Wow.
Now comes the real question: are there any actual consequences for him? Or will he succeed in delaying/weaseling out of everything.
Convicted felon Donald Trump (I may never get tired of those words) is prohibited from voting for President in his home state of Florida.
But in an indication that our law is an ass, being a convicted felon is not a barrier to running for president. Presumably the founders never envisaged that their beloved Republic would sink so low that anyone could possibly vote for an unrepentant criminal.
Spare a thought for the brave jurors in the Trump trial today. Trump is a vindictive narcissist.
