Hello, we recorded a show earlier today, but you may have heard, you may have heard there was some news that broke this afternoon.

It's 5.30 Eastern and we've just heard that former President Trump has been convicted on all

34 felony counts he faced in New York for his payments to Stormy Daniels and the effect that they had on the election,

the campaign distortion caused by it by his payments to Stormy Daniels to hush her up.

So Emily, first of all, what happens to Trump now?

What happens to Trump now is that he will await sentencing. Surely he will try to

file all the motions he can to ask the judge to reconsider the verdict, maybe a

new mistrial motion, and then he'll try to appeal

anything he can. Usually the motions for reconsideration are rejected and this

judge already had some appeals of

earlier rulings that he made so probably the verdict will stand and then this big

question of what kind of sentence Trump will receive is going to

loom and usually a sentencing hearing takes several weeks at least from the time of

the verdict. And the sentencing hearing is scheduled for July 11th and it sounds like from what I've been reading, Emily, I don't know if this is right, that it's very unlikely, even if Trump is sentenced to prison, first of all, there's no guarantee he would be sentenced to jail or to prison.

But even if he were, it's extremely unlikely that the sentence would start

before he, before the election in the sense that he will have lots and lots of appeals going on.

Is that right?

Yeah, I mean you don't always get to stay out of jail or prison if that is your sentence

while your appeals are pending, but sometimes you do.

And I think you're right, given all of the political ramifications

of this verdict and what it would mean

to put someone in jail who's the major candidate president
