    It’s golden and also inaccurate.

    Probation officers aren’t assigned until somebody has been sentenced. This is a pre-sentencing investigation to see if he is eligible for probation.

    If he’s not, he doesn’t meet with his probation officer until after he gets out of jail.

        Actually I edited the italics for clarity.

        Either way, this is an investigation with a probation officer.

        He’s not on probation yet, and may not be eligible and have to do straight time.

        That’s what I was trying to clarify that the headline implied. That he’d already been sentenced, when he hasn’t.

      So… Trump met with a probation officer that is assigned to his case currently. Right? So… His probation officer.

      Super curious. What about this hair makes you think you needed to split it(and edit your error without acknowledging its correction)?

        The article title implies that he’s already been sentenced and is on probation. That’s what that string of words means. The probation officer he met with is doing a presentence investigation. They aren’t assigned to him.

        I.e. not his probation officer because he’s not on probation because this is still pre-sentencing.

        I edited italics for clarity. Don’t be an ass.

        Edit I also edited this post for clarity. Twice!

          Well just under the headline the article states “pre-sentencing”

          So you didn’t take the time to understand the article, didn’t take the opportunity to realize your lack of understanding of the various roles and duties of a New York probation officer, and still haven’t, even though multiple inaccuracies in your statements have been pointed out to you.

          Obtuse throughout.

          Edit: engaging has been my mistake. I thought your original comment was in regards to the headline. This makes clear you are speaking to the article. Had I understood that, I would have not replied, as there would be little point.
