13. Even if he's convicted of EVRY charge he'll never do a day in prison. Just not gonna happen.

I just dont see how, logistically, you could jail a president. He gets SS protection for life. SS agents are NOT going to be put in a prison & he wont be jailed without them. Even in a "Club Fed" type prison.
Best we can hope for would be confinement somewhere with no internet access or unregulated visitors. And I think even THAT is a stretch.

And with everything ELSE he's been getting away with just add this to the list.
Prove me wrong, prosecutors. PLEASE.
