Donald Trump has been found guilty of using a criminal hush-money scheme to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.

It marks a perilous political moment for Trump, the presumptive nominee for the Republican nomination, whose poll numbers have remained unchanged throughout the trial but could tank at any moment.

    Cohen did time as a first time convict for pretty much the same stuff, only less so, but no, I don’t think Trump will do time.
