What Happens if Trump Is Convicted? Your Questions, Answered 

Because the framers never thought the people would elect a felon!!!! So there's no law regarding criminals running for basically the highest office on earth. :(

Because the US is screwed up. Just like how someone can become president while losing the popular vote.

Good point!

The Constitution specifies qualifications to be president. A felony conviction is not mentioned.

For reasons such as lawfare. Hard to believe this is evening happening in a free society, but just wait until republicans use it on their opponents. Once you open Pandora’s box, it’s free game for everyone to use. Let’s see who uses lawfare better.

Same here, no faith or respect for any of them.

democrats control all justice.

So true

Criminals and Traitors occupy the DOJ ...sad

And the voting system

Is a jury of your peers considered the swamp? Do you believe it is even possible for Trump to be guilty of anything?

More like decades worth

yes the swamp (trump & company) have been horrible since the beginning... we patriots are going to fk his sht up

The swamp was bad enough for Trump to flush it through his golden toilet and right into his own personal cesspool, his congregation is free to drink from it any time they want.

@@SnoopyMiami15 Are you listening to what you are saying? The jury isn't the swamp, to answer your rhetorical question..... the swamp is a government that has brought an alleged 'case' when no crime has been committed. NDA's are not illegal, and the jurisdictional flaws are obvious. You may think it's "ok" to allow this to happen because you may dislike Mr. Trump, but the big picture here is not about Mr. Trump, it's about the corruption currently in Government to facilitate such a miscarriage of the laws of this country. Bragg and that other prosecutor invented a 'crime' ..... they even campaigned on going after a person rather than a crime. I guess when it happens to you, you'll finally understand.

I've been doing so much reading about where they could house him that is away from the general prison population. He could go to a military base, that way secret service can go there with him. All I care about is shutting him up so we never have to see him or hear his stupid voice ever again! After this trial is over I need a long vacation from news channels.

@@jennifercrosdale5391 He will run for office until he passes away if we don't stop him.

@@Raptor-bt6zp So you might see who the gasbag grifter really is...

Absolutely zero, nada, nothing!

It worries me. Because I think you maybe right. Trump should have been behind bars years ago. Something inherently wrong with your legal/Justice system. I live in OS.. Legal system isn't much better here either.

Yes, because some nobody weirdo hiding behind a fake thing and a fake profile like a coward really knows what’s going on in the world😂😂😂😂😂

Same. I'd be totally okay with President Biden to pardoning him IF he withdraws from politics until death.

Can we ban him from social media too?

@@sethstriker I doubt Trump would do the same but then again, that's the difference between these two guys. I'd be ok with a pardon if Trump admits using false accusations in order to manipulate American voters. That would end a lot of arguments and maybe we can begin to heal. edit> Not that it matters to your sentiment because I get what you mean but the Governor would be the one to pardon State cases and crimes. I don't think she should unless POTUS agrees.

If don the con beats these charges, he'll ride the wave right back into the Oval Office... And tragically he's got a well established track record of escaping accountability for his actions & coming out even stronger from any attempt to hold him accountable.

You ain lying. I ,as someone on the far left, actually think Biden SHOULD pardon him. After he's been convicted. We don't need the division, and it's probably the right thing to do. He deserves prison, without a doubt. I'll settle for him just going into permanent retirement from the public eye. He has been nothing but a stain on America.

which is why this crime-less trial will be a mis-trial

Everyone, but the Bidens/Clintons.

@@NCLUSA Amen!!

including biden ???

Including Biden?

Yes that is true, if you have a felony you cannot run for dog catcher in many states but you can run as a US District Representative, Senate or President.

I know plenty of people convicted of felonies who vote.

A convicted felon can have that right to vote restored, but it varies from state to state on how to have it restored. Only a few take it away indefinitely for certain crimes.

@@nasis18 this can get messy. Some states could leverage the restoration of rights for convicted felons. forgive my grammar, im on the road but wanted to respond. I'm referring to padding popular votes to win state electoral votes in a federal election. I replied to your question in another post but I dont see it so I'm just adding to this.

@@creamepiecharlie What can get messy and how? How could they leverage the restoration of rights for convicted felons? And how does that apply to the current topic of voting right for felons? You need to add a little more context man.

And it was his first conviction that got him jail time. So they shouldn't use that excuse to not put him in jail.

Cohen did not go to jail for anything related to this case!

@@marcd1981 Michael also lost his Law License ! So that is a Big sacrifice to make for DJT !

@@M.J.212 You mean a person who stokes and instigates so much violence that he needed to be gagged by the court and his jury made anonymous... Isn't a violent criminal? Wouldn't be considered a violent felon? You might want to re-think your answer.

@@alphabetsoup3610 You're misinterpreting my position. Lighten up Francis, I happen to agree with you yet, none of those things has he ever been convicted of so how can he be held accountable for them. Trump is just smart enough to speak in vague, thinly coded, messages that his cult knows what he referring to. Unfortunately that's not enough to charge him with at this point. I'm just being realistic, there's no point in giving people false hope for something that isn't realistic. Unless you're aware of some violent felony charges he's been convicted of that I'm not. Not sure what you're making reference to.

@@alphabetsoup3610 He hasn't been convicted or ever tried yet for the violent felonies. his friends in SCOTUS have made sure he won't be going to trial until AFTER the election. Cannon in Florida has postponed his trial on stealing US military and allies secrets indefinitely. If he wins he will never leave office until he dies, and then he will have passed his dynasty to one of his sons. This is not hyperbole.

Unfortunately I have no faith in our justice system to actually do this. Americans have been lied to for years thinking we were safe from someone like Trump getting into a position of power. Lied to our faces all these years. Disgusting.

he is a former president you idiot. and one who will stand up for you.

Sorry, no. He’s never had anything worse than being made to sit ina ‘cold’ courtroom. Wah, wah, wah.

Nope! They don't!

Because he will still have a Secret Service detail.

@@davidreidenberg9941 The Secret Service already have detailed plans for that scenario.

Look how has went so far. 10+ times he has been admonished for contempt and nothing done. How many times do other people get by with contempt??

@@clickrick The state can bar them. State laws don't need to recognize the secret service. As a judge, I would go so far as to threaten legal action against anyone in the secret service from protecting Trump from what should happen to him with Mr. Eggplant.

Are you kidding me what's going on in this country is the kind of stuff these immigrants are leaving there homes and coming here communist attack their political opponents like this

Trump is and has never been a felon.

AMERICA IS THE LAND OF CROOKS BIG TIME!

Not true. This is the first jailable offense if he's convicted in the current case. The others were civil cases not criminal.

Lot of whining here

Explain why. Trump did not know which columns his staff put amounts in. There is zero evidence to prove otherwise. In any case it is common practice to put monies in one place if you are very busy then tidy up later, all businessmen do that. It is a farce. A desperate try to stop him campaigning that isn`t working.

@@jamiejoygatto But being his (trump) first case, he as the commentator indicated, could just receive probation- Trump being convicted for the first time. Won't be surprised that this will be the outcome.

​@@MR-pr8tpyou never know. A lot of the January 6th protesters were first time offenders.

He will be FAR FAR more dangerous if he beats these charges... Every time someone tries to hold accountable for his actions, he always finds a way to slither out from under it & emerge even stronger.... By which I mean every time he's charged & not convinced, his poor little brainwashed magasheep cult members see that as validation for their support of him & they double down on it and he knows this.

Inner insanity

He's getting a fine. That's it.

It's like the US is in an abusive domestic relationship with Trump. And the most dangerous time is when the victim is trying to escape control.

He’s not going to jail. Hard to believe that you think this is a real case.

Are you a writer for SNL?

nothing wrong with him waiting in prison for the appeals to fail

hopefully the last item on your list moves to number one.

@@user-dn4rx8ev3j are you sick of winning 😂

@ markwhisler3501 I hope heart beats come first 😉

Probation for first time offenders might not have to actually meet with PO. Surely NYC has the system, as with other major cities like LA, where the criminal can just scan his/her fingerprint at a kisok place somewhere each week/month to make sure they aren't skipping out of town. I wonder if he's convicted, will they take away his passport if he's not jailed?

Trump did nothing wrong at all and nobody can tell me what he did wrong

I'm pretty sure they have to deal with that sort of thing every day. I hope he will end up in prison because he's hurt us all so much.

Imagine being said probation worker, and being able to remind Trump as often as you like that you can recommend that the judge revoke his probation and that you’re just waiting for an excuse.

not to mention the odor

It would be his 1st Felony he is convicted for though ! The E Jean Carroll civil trial was all about Defamation proven to be very expensive for him $83.3 Million & it could be more !

He'll probably hate prison.

@@Raptor-bt6zp Quite obvious - You're ignorant, willfully or otherwise

​@@Raptor-bt6zpbecause he is the Diaper Don!

he was convicted of insurrection?

​@@forreststump11 , Trial courts in Illinois, Maine & Colorado ruled that Trump engaged in insurrection. The congressional Jan. 6 Select Committee concluded he incited the insurrection, all in addition to what he's said & done publicly. The SCOTUS only ruled that states don't have authority to remove a candidate for president from the state ballot, it didn't rule that he's not an insurrectionist. Also, the crime of insurrection includes some of the crimes he is charged with in Special Counsel Jack Smith's case against him in D.C. Those convicted of engaging in the Jan. 6 rebellion weren't charged with insurrection, they were charged individually with the specific element of insurrection that they engaged in, i.e. trespassing, assault, obstruction, property damage, aiding and/or abetting the insurrection or insurrectionists. Trump doesn't deny he supports the Jan. 6 insurrectionists, calls them "hostages," would pardon them if president, as he did others who conspired with him, like Bannon & others. He doesn't have to be convicted of insurrection in a court of law to be an insurrectionist. His conduct before, during & after Jan. 6 has established that he's an insurrectionist.

I agree and I can bet there are hundreds of thousands of Americans - senior citizens having gotten convicted and their butt is sitting in jail and their age was not a factor in the sentencing.

His age just shows how many years he evaded jail for his crimes. He has been able to continue to do crimes - now for the rest of his life he can do the time for his crimes.

TONNES

Doesn't seem to be helping Weisselberg too much.

Too old to go to jail but young enough to run the country? Seems logical.

His age should be taken into consideration. In the state of New York a class E felony carries a 1yr to 4yr sentence. Trump has 31 charges against him. If he got the minimum sentence he'd be serving 31 years in prison. Cut that time in half based on his age. He'd be serving 15 or 16 years in prison. Then give him an option for parole after serving half the sentence like most other criminals get. So trump would be in jail for 5 to 7 years and probation for any time he'd have left after that. Seems about right to me.

@@alphabetsoup3610 I thought it was 34 charges.

Hull said Biden too senile to stand any trial for having top secret docs all over china town since he was a Senator. How about that perversion of justice.

The only question is whether all 12 jurors will find him guilty, or whether just one or two will say no, in the face of the evidence.

And there we are!

Agreed 💯

Won't happen... White collar crime gets special treatment. 😮

Behind bars for What?

He'll get probation, no way he gets jail time for this, he's a first time offender

@@SnoopyReads look up his past history. He has been involved in many cases before.

Luckily, we only have two…one of them is always getting in trouble; either because his flags are too large, or he has personally accosted people verbally…resulting in jail time. No sane person drives around with a flag that is more than 7 feet wide…it’s just not normal!!! He used to have the “f Biden” flag, and the down with joe flags…I mean, every day he would do this drive up and down, all around our little town, begging for someone to get confrontational with him…it was always him who started everything. Good Lord.

Set your mind to think of them as loud, unruly children and go about your own business.

Terrifying is what they’re aiming for. Brown shirts.

History Often repeats itself. Stay Vigilant! NO DICTATORS!❤😊

😂😂😂 What a bunch of clowns in this channel.

It would be absurd if he's convicted but not given jail just in case he wins. But that's precisely the type of absurdity I've come to expect from our two tier justice system. Either that or he's released from jail if he wins. To resume his sentence once he's no longer the president. Thereby guaranteeing he becomes a dictator for life. That's the kind of stupidity I've come to expect from all the kings lawyers and all the kings judges

Well the Republican Party need to get some worthy candidates and put them forward . Also I think the problem is with the idea that you can only run for president of you have a stack of money or access to a stack of money .

And was caught on tape passing around Classified Military Intelligence - to put in a book no less!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

US Idiocracy

When was he charged with an insurrection and by whom? When was anyone charged with insurrection recently?

@@hauntedbearchild those that went to jail for January 6 ?? ? Quite a few !!

THAT is exactly what has come to light in this trial. Trump was declared winner in 2016 after using these illegal means. So the proper remedy for a Guilty verdict is far more than just prison. It will mean that he never spent one single legitimate day in the Oval Office. Therefore... 3 Scotus judges will need to resign, because they are likewise illegitimate. And should they refuse to step down, then they need to be removed by the Impeachment process, because they will then have consented to Trump's High Crimes.

It doesn't work like that lol. If he gets elected then he gets elected, and a judge would probably delay his sentence till after his term

Open borders = safety to the Leftists.

Totally agree

Yeah real safe right now ! Look around man !

If only….

I would like that to be true, but Zi do not know that it is so. Could you name those states and the election laws that pertain? It would be nice to celebrate early.

@@oldpossum57 any red State. Check their voting laws and ballot regulations. They originally put those laws on the books to keep black people from voting and running for office. Why else do you think it's mostly black people in jail? Give them felonies and then when they get out, they can't vote or run for office. Now those very laws can be used to keep tRump from being on any ballot in any state with those laws. And in most cases, it doesn't matter if the felony is in a different state.

They will change the laws for him. Not sure what is going to take him down, but something has to do it. We have to vote in massive numbers, especially in swing states !!!

But i bet you guys are ok with illegals voting tho, huh

The state can only prevent you from running for state office not federal office. That was decided in the Colorado case (Anderson v Griswold) which claimed Trump had committed 'insurrection' in the JAN 6 'protests' and therefore could be excluded from the Colorado ballot. The Supreme Court voted 9-0 in a 'per Curiam' decision, meaning the opinion was by the whole court not a majority subset thereof.

For what...what's the crime?

Under Trump, worst record on Covid of any industrialized country, highest unemployment numbers in history, fastest drop in GDP on record, increased the national debt by 8 trillion dollars, with 84% going to the wealthiest 1%, and corporate interests and 0.04% going to working families.
