If the punishment for a crime is merely a fine, then that crime only exists for the lower class.

allan weisenberg just went to prison for a lesser offence, why not the principal?!

Only in America can you not be qualified to work at a fast food restaurant as a felon, but you can run for president....

Justice should NEVER depend upon how the criminal's fans will take it.

Polls have been unreliable for years now. But send trump all your money, by all means. He'll spend it on legal fees instead of campaigning.

This is a great opportunity for everyone to prove their personal relationship with stupidity.

[grumpykat]

Why is there a discussion on this?!?! 🤦‍♂🤦‍♀

[ryanmalone]

It's really not complicated. He broke the law and should be treated like anyone else.

The Orange Monkey has not shown any contrition or acceptance of his felonies to indicate a change and does not deserve any mild treatment under the law!

So she saying, give him immunity if you’re not gonna prosecute and hold them accountable you’re just gonna say he’s guilty, but you’re free to continue that is immunity. What is wrong with you people he is a person he should be judged as a blank face and he should be sentence for the crimes he has committed.

The man is a broken record. So boring.

It seems insane to me that people think that the president has that much power over commerce that he can force Walmart or the like to reduce prices. They do not have to. There is no "reduce your f*ing prices law". They have no incentive to reduce prices. He cannot kick "retail" in the balls if they don't do what he says.

Navarro doesn't have the mental capacity to understand how dangerous the game that's being played is.

[WinstonAC]

No cameras in the courtroom. We should be able to see for ourselves!

[mariemblanco]

Why then Cohen took jail time? Is Trump then above the law???

[Miaholmes]

No no no no if he committed the crime. He must go to jail and do the time

[dawn]

You can’t buy a gun in Pa with a felony but you can give nuclear codes to a convicted felon in the oval office

[Lisa-plgv]

Good Lord, how is it even close? What is wrong with my country??

[chseyxk]

Jeez..any ordinary person would be in prison! Such double standards!

[cmdkaboom]

Yeah he can because some Americans have lost their common sense.
