On Tuesday, Fox News contributor and George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley appeared on FNC’s “Special Report” and toyed the idea of former President Donald Trump being handed a “terminal sentence” in the federal indictment against him regarding classified documents.
Really? He thinks Trump will die in prison for not even committing a crime? I wonder what he thinks about President Joe Biden, who actually did commit a crime with classified documents.
Fox News anchor Bret Baier said, “No matter what you think, this is all extremely serious. The charges that he faces, they can talk about the politics around it and the allegations, but there are years behind each one of these charges.”
Turley replied, “There absolutely are. And the Trump team should not delude itself. This is a very damaging indictment. These photographs, the audiotape, the statements from former counsel, those all hit below the waterline and they’re going to cause damage.”
He continued, “But the important thing to remember is tomorrow this will be a client who is 77 years old. And even though one can debate where a court would put a sentence for a first offender, this is a very serious matter for someone of that age. It can be a terminal sentence if the judge decides to impose a significant jail period. Now, each of these counts range from 10 years to 20 years. And they’ve gotta run the table.”
“Now, having said that, even though the Trump team can’t lose on a single count without a very significant risk, Jack Smith can’t lose a single juror. And all the polls out indicate that about half this country views this as a politically motivated case. That’s where this jury pool’s gonna come from,” Turkey added.
