whatever the sentence (probably just home confinement or something), the key to me is: Donald Trump is a convicted felon now. That in itself is a success. There should be a collective sigh of relief across America (outside of the cult, obviously) right now because the system still kind of works. And that is a good thing in times when the US Supreme Court is full of partisan lunatics and judges like Eileen Cannon are happy to sloooooow-walk cases against the dear leader. Seeing him held accountable in a court of law is a victory.
Those 12 jurors deserve a ton of credit. I think the case was a slam dunk, but the pressure must have been intense. Former president who resorts to mafia tactics all the time and loves to rile and fire up his wacko supporters ... couldn't be easy. They've served their country well.
