Will be a case brought but not any jailtime. Slowly the wheels of justice grind, but it will happen, and from many places.

Rich bastards, and people like Trump find ways to get away with crimes, because they are above the law. Now, if it was you or I who committed these crimes, we would be in prison right now, iike the insurrectionists.

He has already been given huge amounts of deference. That will continue. No cuffs, no bail required, no jail time. Might take his passport.

At best they fine the crap out of him and maybe he gets home detention. Hell I bet they let him campaign after conviction on probation.

If they convict him on a second or third set of charges that may change things.

The Pig is going to squeal the whole way and the money will come rolling in. Christofascist martyrdom, might even pull some of the whackjob base backing DeSantis back to his side.

We can hope he gets convicted of something that prevents him from running for office.

The best thing for the world would be he drops dead standing behind the podium at one of his rallies.
