Trump to be sentenced on Jan. 10 on 34 charges, before his Jan. 20 inauguration

I think you are scatting. What about this? What about that? I think even an attorney like mandrill will tell you individual court cases shouldn't take on the weight of everything going on in the world. This case isn't about treason, insurrection, Hunter Biden or seeing that rich people get punishment. Each case gets argued on it's own merit and precedence. It's merely a case about an organization misclassifying payments which isn't really all that uncommon.
Finally and most importantly, the power of the Presidency eliminated any punishment. So I think you basically undermined your own argument.
I don't even think this case has any great merit as a felony. So your asking a leading question. I said before the conviction that there would be no prison sentence because the alleged crime did not rise to that level of punishment.
My opinion was the Edwards case was not far different. That's why no Federal prosecutors were interested in taking up what clearly is a Federal case.
The Federal gun charges were not the most egregious of Hunter's convictions. A prison sentence for the first-time gun offense was not certain either. The real problems for Hunter were the tax fraud convictions.
Finally and most importantly, the power of the Presidency eliminated any punishment. So I think you basically undermined your own argument.
On June 3, 2011, Edwards was indicted by a federal grand jury in North Carolina on six felony charges, including four counts of collecting illegal campaign contributions, one count of conspiracy, and one count of making false statements
I suppose Trump can still be the president if convicted.
He can issue orders behind bar, I imagine.

The real whiners were the Jan 6th Insurrectionists that could not accept that the 2020 Elections were 100% legitimate!!
No, he is above the law as any other citizen committing such fraud and criminal activities would spend time in jail!!
He looks at home in that environment!!I suppose Trump can still be the president if convicted.
He can issue orders behind bar, I imagine.
Any other citizen would not have been brought to court in the first place. That's where the lawfare part comes in.
Kind of the difference between found guilty and not fiudn guilty. We're you all up in arms when Cohen got sentenced to jail for the dame crime ?
Judge Merchan, who is known for his lack of favor toward Trump, has taken the unusual step of announcing his intentions ahead of delivering his decisions. This gives District Attorney Alvin Bragg maximum time to act. While Bragg's efforts may not ultimately change the final outcome, the process of appealing these cases will keep Trump's name under public scrutiny.
Trump is betting on various scenarios: that he may not live to face the consequences of civil or criminal matters by the end of his presidential term, or that he can change the law to allow a third term. Failing that, he could even push for a write-in campaign. While write-in votes have been historically rare in high-profile elections. Strom Thurmond's 1954 U.S. Senate campaign in South Carolina being a notable exception. Trump may consider this option if he grows desperate.
In an extreme scenario, he might rally his supporters, including groups like the Proud Boys and his MAGA base, to take drastic action. However, whether he retains the same level of support by the end of a potential second term is uncertain. Many of his supporters have already become disillusioned, even before he begins another term in office.
Violating the campaign regulations means that they would not have been indicted and brought to Court? Then why was this individual Brought to Court, and only to be pardoned by Trump:
