"Could"? Sure. "Should"? Probably. "Will"? No chance. Have you not been paying attention?
There is a chance. It is much smaller than I'd like, but it's there.
I think it’s a larger chance than most people think. Yes it’s a first offense but it’s not an offense that should be taken lightly. He has a history of crime now after being found guilty of fraud and civilly liable for sexual assault(rape).
I see no reason for the judge to go easy on him. He was a PITA and didn’t follow gag orders, he’s guilty of a degree of fraud we haven’t seen in a long time, and that fraud impacted an election of the United States in a very large way, leading to uninformed voters and hid a scandal from the public.
The judge should bury him. At least give him 2-3 months in jail. If this comes without jail time, it will be a huge injustice to everyone. To know that you can lie to the American voting public and commit fraud from the White House and get away with a slap on the wrist would do great damage to this country (nothing new tho). Hope the judge does the right thing.
Violated the gag order ten times. Again: TEN times.

See how far down this ladder any other citizen comes before facing actual consequences.
Na.
Sadly the legal armchair experts said that common sentence for a first time offense of what he was found guilty of does not include prison.
You don't understand what "small but it's there" means, do you?
