Moments after his verdict, a court clerk gave Trump a Court Order for Investigation and Report. The form directs Trump to report immediately to the department of probation. Conducted by a city probation officer these brief interviews are then memorialized in a "pre-sentencing report that both sides and the judge see shortly before the sentencing. Pre-sentencing reports include input from prosecutors and make a recommendation to the judge for what punishment including jail, probation, fines, and community service would be appropriate. He'd also be asked if he has any health, substance abuse, or domestic violence issues and whether he owns a firearm. During the rest of the interview, Trump would be offered the chance to speak about his conviction and make a plea for leniency. It's perfectly fine to say the matter is on appeal, and I maintain my innocence. What's not fine is to say the judge is corrupt and the jury is corrupt or anything about the witnesses.If he does submit to a pre-sentencing interview in the next month or so Trump would not have an attorney with him as he sits face-to-face with a probation officer. Cheers!
I’m sure him not being able to have an attorney with him will be one of the things he whines about. And he will say things like how unfairly he is being treated. But that’s how probation interviews go. I’m pretty sure sure he will bad mouth everybody - and the judge will take it into consideration when it comes to sentencing time. Cheers!
A month or so ago I thought it was unlikely that Trump would see any jail time. But he has said a lot of things since then. And he will likely say a lot more things that could land him in jail. James Comey was one of the few people that said Trump very well might be charged with felony and now he is saying Trump very well might see jail time. So I am hoping he is right this time too. Cheers!
