    "He faces penalties from a FINE to four years in prison on each count, although it’s expected he would be sentenced for the offenses CONCURRENTLY, not consecutively. "

    Emphasis added by me. What do you think the actual outcome of this will be? I’ll bet $50 it’s a fine, which is literally nothing to a billionaire, like it doesn’t matter at all. Even if he gets jail time it will likely be served concurrently, assuming it’s not just outright waived by the judge “in light of his extraordinary service to this country”. At least he won’t be able to vote for himself in the upcoming election. It’ll be amazing if that one vote would have turned the tide for him. LOL
