    He’s been convicted of 34 felonies. If he is removed from his position due to poor health, for example, he can at least be sentenced.

      I think the incredible amount of shit he’s been able to get away with demonstrates that there’s virtually no chance of him being removed from office by the current Congress. He could probably murder someone, and as long as they were unimportant to Republicans he’d get away with it.

        How did I miss that? I thought his sentencing was simply delayed. “Unconditional discharge”? Fuck that.

        He wasn’t sentenced (given the terms of the punishment) yet right? The judge, put that step on hold for after his term.

          No, unfortunately it was not a hold. It was an unconditional discharge. Basically a sentence of nothing. There will be no consequences for him committing all those felonies.
