No prison sentence, and Trump has no power to pardon state crimes. Probably pleaded guilty to avoid jail time.

Ok thanks. But wait, why wouldn't he get jail time ?

[–] officermike@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Presumably that's what the plea deal offered.

American "law" sure is weird at times. "Yes I stole millions from the American people, I'll see myself out".

I would think that since daddy orange just ordered his DOJ to stop investigating a certain mayor of NY that the mayor might be able to put in a good word. Pretty sure he can't pardon though since he's not the governor.
