Absolutely nothing, they have already said they are not pursuing sentencing during his presidential term, so he is free from all consequences until he dies.
Honest question, what is the GOP going to do when his 4 years is over assuming that he doesn’t pull a Putin and just stay in power until usurped or killed.
They’ve gone so far into him as the leader that any challenger is disowned from the party so what happens if they follow the law and he no longer is able to run?
The “speedy trial” guarantee is for the defendant. If they want it slower, there is no guarantee the government has to “speed it up”. That’s his strategy on pretty much every lawsuit, delay as long as possible.
I’m very clearly not a lawyer or expert in any way here, but once he’s convicted doesn’t that change things? He’s no longer on trial, he has a conviction hanging over his head, seem inhumane to me to force someone to wait for a sentence/punishment. It would be one thing to let him wait until after his term to serve time or pay a fine, but not knowing what the punishment is seems very wrong to me.

If they follow the law? You can scrap that idea.
Assuming no coup where he remains president, DeSantis or Vance are MAGA enough to keep that going.
I still maintain that this violates the “speedy trial” guarantee and is therefore illegal

Any other person would be sitting in jail the whole time…
But what about after that? Have any spiritual leaders weighed in on this?
