1. If Reality Winner served more than 4 years for 1 document, Trump should get

some time behind bars. Laws can't be just for us mere mortals.

[mucifer]

2. w bush started a war for no reason. he's not in prison. they are above the law.

Just the way it is.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

8. Well then, going by that

then all the Congressional members that voted to authorize it should be in prison also, right?

[FalloutShelter]

9. I know someone who did 7 years

For stealing docs from a presidential library.

[gordianot]

3. He needs supervision could never mix with a prison population.

Going totally bankrupt would work for me.

[speak easy]

4. and throw away the key

[frogmarch]

5. If he went to prison,

a Secret Service agent would have to body-guard him there, right?

[rampartc]

6. punishment?

i'd like to put him on mount rushmore.

chained like prometheous with his liver being eaten by turkey buzzards.

but trump will never be indicted, convicted or sentenced to any meaningful punishment.

by the time this special prosecutor is organized and staffed it will be election time again. trump is neither young nor healthy. he can afford to stay alive for many years, but the ravages of age will be visible. .

[Dr. Shepper]

7. Will be or should be?

I don’t think he spends any time in jail. Ever. He’ll maybe get probation. He should be locked away for his crimes, but I just don’t see that happening.

[Orrex]

10. He'll be asked not to do it again and not to run for president for one year

[SledDriver]

11. Which he would undoubtedly appeal up to the SCOTUS.

[patricia92243]

13. Actually, that is what I am afraid of on any punishment. His appointed buddies

plus Thomas would let him off the hook.

[patricia92243]

12. I think it will be a fine and probation - and the important thing - he can't run for president.

[JuJuChen]

14. house arrest, too much a further stain on the country to jail a former president

[David__77]

15. I'm thinking that he would still run for president.

…

[BlueIdaho]

18. TFG's political machinations are over.

His poor performance as “Dear Leader” during the midterms has proven the emperor has no clothes. Without his alleged clout the GQP will drop him like a hot rock.

[David__77]

19. If so, I will be surprised.

I don’t see who will beat him.

[BlueIdaho]

20. I predict we will see at least half a dozen candidates

In the GQP primaries. He’s yesterday’s news - even FOX only showed parts of his candidate “announcement” the other day. Now that others see him as vulnerable they will pounce.

[Thunderbeast]

16. We need to hope he has no house of his own to be held in

Probably need to build a small complex inside a federal prison to house him and secret service.

No KFC
No ice cream
No steaks and ketchup
No cell phone
Email limited to J-PAY (look it up)
No air conditioning in cell
Stainless steel toilet in the corner of cell.
Shower on Tuesday and Saturday
TV (behind protective screen) tuned to MSNBC 7x24
A library card to the prison library (he doesn't read)

[Vogon_Glory]

17. Other countries jail crooked ex-presidents, why shouldn't we?

French ex-President Sarkosy, Italian ex-President Berlusconi..and I haven’t even touched the Americas yet.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

24. Other countries jail mere political opponents and dissidents, too.

I think avoiding looking like one of those countries accounts for a lot of our reluctance. Ironically we may be dooming ourselves for appearances' sake.

[bluestarone]

21. In the end we may have to wait until one more SC decision. (IF he's re-elected)

Can he SELF PARDON?

[MichMan]

22. What is he being charged with ?

[Ani Yun Wiya]

23. 325 Classified Documents...

Should reap substantial time in a cell.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

25. He flees before sentencing.

[sakabatou]

26. I would like prison, but realistically, he'll get house arrest.

[DavidDvorkin]

27. I voted "Other" because "Drawn and quartered" wasn't on the list.

[Midnight Writer]

28. A lot of "ifs" there, but I do not believe he will ever spend a night in prison.

I'm not a legal scholar, but I do have lots of experience about "how things work" in this world.
