Too many doomers here. If he is convicted and sentenced to prison (which I don’t think even Merchan would do), he will get immediate relief from serving time during the appeal process because it isn’t a violent crime and the trial was so unfairly conducted.

And the presence of a conviction will not hurt him in the election, but would instead make voters more motivated to elect him so we can start dealing with this corruption. Polls are firmly behind Trump on this very point.

Finally, Congress will not have grounds to disqualify him for a conviction the public hates which also does not meet the “high crimes or misdemeanors” standard.
