He was never going to serve any time and it was foolish to ever think he would. I seem to recall hearing that in NY you are not a “convicted” felon until sentencing. Think maybe the judge wants to make the convictions legal and on record, therefore the “sentencing”. This judge is making the statement that the jury found him guilty on all counts and that decision could not/should not be tossed aside. A jury of his peers came to that decision. So it will go down in the history books that we had a convicted felon in the Oval Office, but with no consequences. Go figure. Justice is not equal, but at least he will have received a sentence, however meaningless. I bet the judge will give a pretty rough tongue lashing though. IMO.
