Good bye Donny. Jack Smith isn't fucking around.
37 counts.

(73,170 posts)BTW this is a die in prison and broke type of thing from Jack Smith plus he has Bragg in NYC,
Fanni Willis in Georgia, Tish James civil stuff in NY State, 5 to 10 million for E. Jean Carroll, and
the 1/6/21 coup stuff.

(96,882 posts)31 counts are for the same crime (different documents). In all likelihood, these sentences would be concurrent, not consecutive.

(4,741 posts)The first 31 counts have a penalty of up to 10 years and $250,000. Reminder: Each. Not combined. Each.
31X10 = 310. $250K X 31 = $7.75 million.
Counts 32-35 (4 counts) are 20 years and $250K. Each.
4 X 20 = 80. $250K X 4 = $1million
2 counts have a max penalty of 5 years and $250K. Each.
2 X 5 = 10. 2 X $250K = $500K. Again, each.
310 + 80 + 10 = 400 years
$7.75million + $1million + $500K = $9.25million.
My prediction is that he gets 5-10 years, total, possibly probationary (and if it's probationary another 5-10 years of supervised release). Since he'll get that slap of the wrist, why not sock him with the max fines for whatever charges result in a guilty verdict? It's not like he's a poor black kid selling crack. He can afford to reimburse the government for the trouble he's caused.

(5,779 posts)He pays the max fine. He gives up security clearance. He can't run around calling it a witch hunt if he pleads guilty.
His only other strategy is to delay the trial as much as possible and hope for a hung jury.
