      I don’t think anyone has as long a track record of committing obvious jailable offenses and staying out of jail though. At least not that we have record of

        The first step is to get charged, the second is to be convicted. There are plenty in Trump’s shoes, who have only been criminally co evicted once and got a slap on the wrist. The smart ones pull the correct strings and don’t even get charged, and certainly don’t have their misdeeds reported in the media if they can help it.

          My original point, that he won’t spend a second in jail or ever be punished for any of his crimes still stands…

          With the way he’s organized his fundraising and his Trump Co stuff. He stands to make billions by losing the election. Winning will just make him emperor.

            That’s certainly possible, and I’m not very optimistic that he will see jail.
