    While he can’t legally vacate his state felony convictions it will either go:

    • The judge gives him a slap on the wrist to appear neutral, because liberals love taking the high road and shooting themselves in the dick.
    • Trump tries and SCOTUS gives him a free pass because it is ‘part of his duties as president’ to not go to jail or whatever fucking excuse.

      They should throw the book at him and lock him in solitary (because gen pop is too dangerous for a President Elect).

      Yeah, SCOTUS will bail him out saying the President has to government, but he’s not President for 2 more months and the conviction is for crimes prior to his guest presidency, so Executive immunity doesn’t count. Let him rot for 2 months.

        I would prefer the judge actually sentenced him to jail even uf it gets ignored, but I expect that to play a part in them taking it down to a slap on the wrist.
