Trump is facing 34 felonies at 1 to 4 years per charge for a maximum of 136 years if found guilty across the board.
That'll never happen.
I'm guessing that half of the charges will end up getting dropped, he'll be acquitted on about a third, and convicted on the remaining 5 or 6, for which he will recieve the most lenient sentences to be served concurrently from either house arrest or a minimum security white collar day spa "prison." That's my prognosis. One year, max.
And that's if it even goes to trial, AND if he's not re-elected next year. If he is, it's game over, not just for the charges but for the country. We cannot survive another term under this monster. Too much is at stake. I hope the DA takes him for all he's worth. 10 or 15 years may well be a life sentence for this guy, 20 max. If they could put Bernie Madoff away, they could do the same to the Gonad Lump.
It's going to be a long year, and it's almost certainly going to be on Trump's time; he'll get to delay as long as he wants, ignore deadlines with no consequences, have unrelated judges step in to throw sand in the gears, gum up the works, slow it to a crawl so be can run out the clock.

Former President Donald Trump arriving at Trump Tower in New York City on Monday. (David Dee Delgado/Reuters)
Donald Trump will be placed under arrest on Tuesday and informed that he has been charged with 34 felony counts for falsification of business records, according to a source who has been briefed on the procedures for the arraignment of the former president.
A New York City police arrest report summarizing the charges against Trump will then be prepared and entered into the court system before he is led into a courtroom to be formally arraigned on the charges, none of which are misdemeanors.
But, the source said, Trump will not be put in handcuffs, placed in a jail cell or subjected to a mug shot — typical procedures even for white-collar defendants until a judge has weighed in on pretrial conditions. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office, which has been consulting with the Secret Service and New York City court officials, concluded there was no reason to subject the former president to handcuffs or a mug shot.
The stated reason for handcuffing defendants is that they might be a flight risk or a threat to the district attorney or court personnel, neither of which was judged to be relevant to the handling of a former president protected at all times by a phalanx of Secret Service agents.

The charge of falsification of business records can be prosecuted in New York state as a misdemeanor. But Bragg’s office bumped up all the charges to Class E felonies — the lowest level of felonies in the New York state penal code — on the grounds that the conduct was intended to conceal another underlying crime, according to the source.
Under the New York State penal code, a conviction for the Class E felony of falsifying business records can result in a prison term of up to four years. But as a practical matter, that seems extremely unlikely. “No one gets jail time for that as a first offender,” said a New York law enforcement official.
The evidence for the underlying crime that escalated Trump’s alleged misdemeanors to felonies is still not clear and won’t be until the indictment is unsealed on Tuesday. But it is believed to relate to the payment of $130,000 in hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels during the closing weeks of the 2016 election to conceal an extramarital encounter with Trump.
After this story was posted, a spokesman for Trump said the former president’s legal team had not seen the indictment or been briefed on the details. Trump himself responded with a post on TruthSocial.
“Wow! District Attorney Bragg just illegally LEAKED the various points, and complete information, on the pathetic Indictment against me,” Trump wrote. “I know the reporter and so, unfortunately, does he. This means that he MUST BE IMMEDIATELY INDICTED. Now, if he wants to really clean up his reputation, he will do the honorable thing and, as District Attorney, INDICT HIMSELF. He will go down in Judicial history, and his Trump Hating wife will be, I am sure, very proud of him!”
A spokesperson for Bragg said in an email that the district attorney’s office “declined to comment on a sealed indictment.”

What’s particularly delicious about Trump’s first indictment is that the 34 - 34! - charges are all felony charges. If he’s found guilty of at least one count, he’s officially a felon, and felons can’t vote. Not that I think felons in general should be disenfranchised, but there’s a degree of poetic justice in the man who ran on rampant voter fraud potentially losing the ability to vote 🤣🤣🤣

S.V. Dáte at HuffPost:
WASHINGTON ― Would Donald Trump ever have become president if he hadn’t paid off porn star Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet in the days before the 2016 election? The answer is impossible to know, but the premise of the question forms the basis of the very first criminal trial of a former president in American history: whether Trump’s scheme to keep Daniels’ claim of a 2006 affair with him under wraps was, in fact, a crime for which the coup-attempting former president should be punished. While “hush money case” has become the shorthand to describe the first of Trump’s four criminal cases to go to trial, particularly among Trump defenders who wish to diminish it, that is not how it will be described to prospective jurors Monday at the scheduled start of jury selection. Judge Juan Merchan’s first sentence of a 223-word summary describing the case to jurors reads: “The allegations are, in substance, that Donald Trump falsified business records to conceal an agreement with others to unlawfully influence the 2016 presidential election.”
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who brought the 34-count indictment against Trump just over a year ago, will argue that the ledger entries and other business documents Trump created claiming that he was paying lawyer Michael Cohen for “legal services” when in reality he was repaying him for the $130,000 check he delivered to Daniels, were felonies under New York law. “The core is not money for sex,” Bragg told New York’s public radio affiliate last year. “We would say it’s about conspiring to corrupt a presidential election and then lying in New York business records to cover it up.” Trump’s campaign did not respond to HuffPost’s queries for this report. He has primarily argued on social media and in his campaign speeches that the case was brought to hurt his efforts to regain the presidency, another piece of the “witch hunt” that he claims the “deep state” is conducting against him.
He repeated those claims Friday during a brief news conference. “It’s not even a crime,” he said. “It’s very unfair that we have this judge who hates Trump.” It’s unclear precisely how long the trial will last or even how many days it will take to seat a jury, although estimates suggest it could stretch into June. Merchan, in an April 8 letter to prosecutors and defense lawyers, noted the logistical challenges involved in trying a former president and presumptive major party nominee who travels with a substantial Secret Service detail. “In a case where security concerns are implicated every time anyone enters or exits the courtroom, or mingles around the corridors, moving the entire jury panel is no simple task,” Merchan wrote.
Bragg’s filing accompanying the indictment lays out the plan Trump and his ally David Pecker, publisher of the National Enquirer, developed to “catch and kill” stories that could hurt Trump’s presidential campaign. The scheme also involved paying off a doorman at a Trump building, who claimed Trump had a fathered a child outside his marriages, as well as a Playboy model, Karen McDougal, who also claimed she’d had an affair with Trump in 2006 and 2007. Neither of those payments, though, were made by Cohen, and the actual indictment only involves Trump’s reimbursements to him.
To what extent Trump’s successful pre-election silencing of Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, played a role in his narrow 2016 win is unclear. Trump lost the national popular vote by 2.9 million ballots but won Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania by a combined 77,744 votes, which gave him a healthy Electoral College victory. After watching his poll numbers crater after the Oct. 7, 2016, release of the “Access Hollywood” tape, in which he bragged that his celebrity allowed him to grab women by the genitals, Trump slowly recovered over the coming weeks as Russia’s spy agencies and their ally, Julian Assange, on a near daily basis released stolen emails designed to hurt Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
[...]
Whether it would have cost Trump the election, of course, does not matter in terms of his criminal trial. Prosecutors must only prove that Trump had Cohen make the payment to Daniels for the purpose of influencing the election and that he subsequently created fake business records to disguise the purpose of the reimbursements.
“I think the case is strong as a matter of both evidence and New York law,” said Norm Eisen, a White House lawyer under former President Barack Obama who recently published a book about the New York prosecution. “If Bragg proves that theory of the case, and I think he will, he will establish this was no minor hush-money peccadillo but a serious democracy crime.” Trump faces three other felony criminal prosecutions ― two of them based on his attempt to remain in power despite having lost reelection in 2020. A federal indictment could go to trial as early as late August, depending on the timing of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on his claim that he is immune from prosecution. A Georgia state prosecution based on his attempt to overturn his election loss in that state could also start later this year. An unrelated second federal prosecution based on his refusal to turn over secret documents he took with him from the White House to his South Florida country club has not yet been set for trial.
Today is the first day of Donald Trump's first criminal trial in New York v. Trump to determine whether the hush money payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal made by Donald Trump to falsify business records in order to influence the 2016 elections leads to convictions for Trump.
If Trump is convicted on even one charge, he'll be forever known as Convicted Felon Donald Trump, and that would hurt him at the polls come election day because people who are hesitant on voting Joe Biden again but don't like DJT likely won't vote for a convicted felon to lead the nation.

The top three trending topics on the hellsite known as Twitter right now are my name, ‘34 felony counts’ and ‘Ticketmaster’. I don’t understand how I can live in a cottage in the woods and mind my own business and every time my name makes it back onto the internet it always sounds like I’ve done something scandalous. I’m still just in my cottage minding my own business. Mostly. Maybe. Who knows what is on the horizon? Do I have a super secret project in the works? Nobody will know. Will there be a reunion of some description happening in the future? Who can say? Is it so fun to remain an enigma to the real world? Yes. Yes it is. //  @cityofdreamsstarters​​

So this Soros-backed, patently leftist DA who seemingly made his entire carrer about criminal law reform and refusing to prosecute even minor felons... Suddenly finds the time and willpower to ramrod 34 counts of felony through a terrified Grand Jury.
Under any other situation and with any other individual, many of the charges would have been misdemeanors. In fact. the very timing of said indication is deeply fishy.
How so? Glad you asked!
The Deep State heralds not only a recent national tragedy (Trans creature specifically kills Christian adults and children because of their Christianity), but also the revelation (backed up by a building avalanche of evidence) that the family of and including the sitting President have been bought and paid-for by the hostile CCP for decades.
These are all serious issues, but don't let them distract you from the true focus: the attempted ideological elimination/subjugation by a "Ruling Regime" deployed against its (perceived) greatest political opponent.
It makes me ashamed to see how deeply my country has fallen from its founding ideals.

Post 919
Michael Glance, Michigan inmate 649196, born 1987, incarceration intake in 2021 at age 34, scheduled for parole consideration 04/14/2056, with full release 04/14/2076
Assault with attempt to commit Murder, Use of Weapons in the Commission of a Felony
On April 16, 2019 the Blackman-Leon Public Safety Department responded to a report of a shooting at a home in the 400 block of Barrett Avenue. As officers investigated, they found Michael Christopher Glance had shot his two-year-old son in the face.
The child survived, but required reconstructive surgery. 
In 2021 Jackson County Prosecutor Jerry Jarzynka said Glance plead no contest to three felony charges of Assault with Intent to Murder and three charges of Felony Firearms in a hearing before Jackson County Circuit Judge Thomas Wilson.
In 2019, Michael Glance of Blackman Township, was found mentally competent for trial after originally being ruled mentally incompetent. Glance’s first assessment, cited in a report said he was mentally incompetent for trial. However, Chief Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Kati Rezmierski argued that Glance was faking his symptoms.
A second assessment of Glance from the Center for Forensic Psychiatry determined the mental illness diagnosed earlier was in fact faked, Jackson District Court Judge Michael Klaeren said.
It’s likely Glance faked his symptoms of mental illness and he showed symptoms not typical of people with a genuine mental illness, the second report read by Klaeren said.
“His results in this measure indicate a high likelihood of feigning in respect to rare symptoms,” the report read by Klaeren said.  The change from incompetent to competent in less than a month is a rapid turnaround, Klaeren said.
“This was an extraordinary case, to the extent that I’ve never had an individual found incompetent and then three weeks later found competent,” defense attorney Andrew Kirckpatrick said.
Glance will undergo a criminal responsibility evaluation done by a different doctor at the Center for Forensic Psychiatry, Klaeren said.
Glance was sentenced by Judge Thomas D. Wilson to 35 years to 55 years in the Department of Corrections for three counts of Assault with Intent to Murder. The defendant was also sentenced to a mandatory two years in the Department of Corrections for Felony Firearms.
