Trump ‘Could Be Looking at Jail’ If Convicted in Hush Money Case Because He’s ‘A Recidivist,’ Says Andrew Weissmann

‘This is one where the judge I think is going to be looking at the rule of law to see how other people were treated’

EXCERPT:

WEISSMANN: “You know, he could be looking at jail. This is one where the judge I think is going to be looking at the rule of law to see how other people were treated, other people with a similar criminal background. I think this is an area where Donald Trump’s pretrial behavior is going to be relevant. If you have someone who’s contrite, if you have someone who shares that he’s respectful of the rule of law, that this was an aberration, that is something that the court can take into account. But if you think that the defendant actually is running basically as an outlaw and is basically thumbing his nose at the judicial process and shows no sign of remorse and essentially is a recidivist, those are factors that a judge can consider.”
