    What about the risk of recidivism though?

    Pretty clear that he will do exactly the same thing again.

      That’s fair. Being openly remorseless does tend to encourage the judge to give the full extent of what they’re allowed to do.

      I’m just cynical about anyone wanting to be the first person to sentence a former president to prison, and maybe finding any possible reasonable way to skirt over that for whatever reason or just “the good of the country”, justice or not.

      Or not, and they’ll just seize the opportunity to show that justice is blind.
      We’ll find out in July. 😊
