Mehdi HasanDoes anyone really believe Donald Trump will ever see the inside of a prison cell?
Warner Crocker@mehdihasan nope.
Old Hippie Ⓥ@mehdihasan No but I really wish I did.
Clipper Chip 
@mehdihasan Nope. Assigning Jack Smith as special master sealed it. He's the guy who never gets any convictions.
Stan Wagner@clipperchip @mehdihasan He was given the DOJ’s investigations on a silver platter. I think there’ll be an indictment coming much sooner this way. And, I think he’ll throw in insurrectionists like MTG, Biggs, and other MAGA Congresspeople involved in 1/6 attack on the Capitol.
Making him SC gives DOJ cover so as not to look political.

Garland is Weak@mehdihasan not while garland is at the wheel.
Eva@mehdihasan we are Praying
baileymarkham@mehdihasan Hope springs eternal.
Seriously@mehdihasan A girl can dream 💁🏽♀️
Jeff Cuscutis@mehdihasan I do hope, but it is very unlikely.
Brian Moon@mehdihasan I do not
[old] stefan 🙌
Helderweb@mehdihasan never....his armed cult would cause civil unrest. He lost over 2 years ago and our government is still afraid of what his cult could do
DJ
Thomas@mehdihasan
All I can do is hope justice finally comes for him.

The Unchecked Falcon@mehdihasan. So many reasons why he should.

@mehdihasan Absolutely not. I have no hope on that. Call me pessimistic, but look at everything he's gotten away with to this point.
@mehdihasan House arrest and no Diet Coke.
Auntie Denier@SeriouslyNow @mehdihasan This is my vote. House arrest is bad for him but less of a secret service nightmare—and ppl less likely to kill and die for a guy who still has housekeeping, personal chefs, and cable. (And yes, I do continue to think the law will prevail.)
Anne @annevelink_adI hope. But money talks
Aida Neary@mehdihasan nope and Garland just punted.
@mehdihasan What's the point of this defeatist attitude?
Geir@mehdihasan No (angry face emoji).
Mathias@mehdihasan Probably not. But, if he is found guilty of violating the Presidential Records Act, he will never be able to touch a single document. He can only have copies.
NOTHING would be made available for his presidential library.
Last line here:
https://www.archives.gov/presidential-libraries/laws/1978-act.html
Presidential Records Act (PRA) of 1978
The Presidential Records Act (PRA) of 1978, 44 U.S.C. ß2201-2209, governs the official records of Presidents and Vice Presidents that were created or received after January 20, 1981 (i.e., beginning with the Reagan Administration). The PRA changed the legal ownership of the official records of the President from private to public, and established a new statutory structure under which Presidents, and subsequently NARA, must manage the records of their Administrations. The PRA was amended in 2014, which established several new provisions.
ΚΞΜ@Uhnnohn @mehdihasan I can’t imagine what his “presidential” library would be like. I’ve tried. Faux Time magazine wallpaper everywhere? A monument to the biggest BS artist of all time? Sadly, it will probably be the most visited and popular one of all.
@Uhnnohn @mehdihasan oooh that’s cool.
sustainvet72@mehdihasan doubt it
SentientTP@mehdihasan i seriously doubt he'll ever be charged with anything
Sholto Fisher@mehdihasan Nope. My guess he'll flee to Saudi before spending a day in prison.
Mark Kopulos 🏳️🌈@mehdihasan I want to believe…but no.
Emma@mehdihasan One can only hope 🥺
Mona Sigal MD
Evan Z Kapp DOYes, because if not it will be a stain upon the DOJ that they will never be able to wipe off. They let plenty (Guiliani) off already.
No more!
Gloria Elena Gonzalez@mehdihasan unfortunately No. That is the sad thing.
Karen Froehlich@mehdihasan Trump never faces consequences for anything, so I’m very doubtful he’ll even be indicted. I hope I’m wrong.
Cassie Jaunty@mehdihasan seems to me that not only will he not see jail time, but he is getting to come back to Twitter. I hate this so much.
Gina Lynn@mehdihasan
If he and family want to evade prosecution, I'd be happy with them fleeing (to Russia?) and leaving us in peace.

Kuppy ⭕️🌵@mehdihasan Hard to imagine him going to prison, but the opposite is also true.
timekiller_sI'm not holding my breath. Had some opportunities to put the clampdown on him but no. Before I shuffle off this mortal coil I want very much to see him publicly humiliated and punished.
I still sorta hope that someone finds a way to hack into every network at the same time, Max Headroom in Chicago in 1987-style, and airs the alleged pee-pee tape.
@timekiller_s @mehdihasan I wouldn’t even mind if it was fake. :)
Blinxeto
Tim Fisher 🇺🇸@mehdihasan First, we need a trial. Then we need a verdict. The sentencing comes last. That's called justice. Saying "prison cell" before anything else has happened is not justice. I don't care what the right says or thinks. I care about justice.
Tzippy Shmilovitz@mehdihasan never. He won’t even stand trial. It’s America.
The Lone Apple 🍎@mehdihasan No, but ultimately whatever happens is what I will have to accept.
ItsAllBeenDecided@mehdihasan No, of course not. If we give MBS immunity for the gruesome murder of a U.S. resident, why wouldn't our ex-president also enjoy such special treatment?
Stu Duerson, machina exo deus@mehdihasan Yes. If he escapes prison for any reason, it had better be his early death. If it doesn't happen, the justice system has permanently impugned itself.

Scott Shields
tronic@mehdihasan Still mad at Garland, still holding onto tiny hope.
@mehdihasan
Not anymore -
once I couldn't see how he could avoid prosecution -
now I think the Justice Dept doesn't want to deal with the problems of putting an ex-President in jail.

iGaia@mehdihasan I’ll settle for a perp walk at this point…..
Joe Howes@mehdihasan No, which is a shame because I’m certain Americans will make him president again.
TheSheNerd@mehdihasan My heart tells me no.
@mehdihasan
Unfortunately no
Unfortunately no
hebrewzzi@mehdihasan Are any sports books offering it as a bet? I’d imagine the odds for are incredibly favorable.
WrathofJan 🌞🌻🌎🖖@mehdihasan I*m still hoping….
𝓣𝓸𝓷𝓳𝓪 𝓜𝓪𝓼𝓸𝓷 
@mehdihasan I hope he does because the violence with his cult will never end if he keeps getting away with all these crimes. Because of him, they think they are untouchable. We need Justice.
