If former President Donald Trump receives the maximum sentence on every charge against him, he'll get 536 years behind bars.
Although even if found guilty, he's unlikely to face anywhere near that number.
As Mediaite reports:
Trump himself broke the blockbuster news Thursday that he has been indicted in Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation into his retention of classified documents under the Espionage Act, news that shook the political world.
On Friday, the indictment was unsealed.
Of the 37 counts, Trump faces:
- Thirty-one counts of willful retention of national security documents — which carry a maximum sentence of 10 years each.
- Three counts of withholding or concealing documents in a federal investigation — 20 years each.
- Two counts of false statements — five years each.
- One count of conspiracy to obstruct justice — 20 years.
Combined, that adds up to 400 years. The possibility of a 536-year sentence appears when the maximum penalties from Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg's charges against Trump are included.
And that number may increase very soon.
Mediaite continues:
Trump is also facing the Special Counsel Jack Smith-led Justice Department probes into Trump's conduct surrounding the January 6 insurrection, as well as Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' grand jury investigation of Trump's effort to overturn election results in Georgia.
The Georgia case — which many experts and analysts believe presents a significant legal threat to Trump by virtue of the evidence that is publicly known — is also widely believed to be on the precipice of delivering indictments in August. Others believe that the Jan. 6 case could follow closely thereafter.
Regardless of the length of sentence, the prospect of Trump going to prison presents yet another unprecedented conundrum: what becomes of Trump's Secret Service protection? The Secret Service has no protocol for a protectee who has been convicted of a crime and imprisoned, so one would need to be developed if such a situation arose.

If he gets any time those pushing this garbage are the one who need to do said time.
There needs to be a L-O-T more in FEDERAL prison such as HILLARY Clinton, “Dog Pile” Schiff, “Beijing Joe” Biden, etc. How about 55,000 YEARS?!?
Trial outcomes:
