ABC Analyst: Trump Faces '20 Years Behind Bars' For 'Serious Felonies'

A legal analyst for ABC News pointed out that former President Donald Trump is potentially facing 20 years in prison for "serious felonies" after the search of his Mar-a-Lago home.

Dan Abrams told ABC host Jonathan Karl that the Department of Justice could indict Trump for multiple crimes after finding classified documents during the search.

"They're very serious," Abrams said of the charges. "And the one that's being talked about most is this espionage act because it has the word espionage in it. But the truth is that when it comes to potential criminal sentences, the obstruction of justice statute is the one with the most potential prison time."

"There you're talking about up to 20 years behind bars," he added. "So these are not sort of minor crimes we're talking about here. We're talking about the potential for serious felonies with regard to all three of the crimes being investigated."

He needs to go to prison and I don’t care what gets him there, but it’ll feel a little unfulfilling if they can’t find at least one J6 or tax evasion charge to also hit him with.

That’s what I thought the Manhattan tax case might have done before their DA got cold feet.

I think if Trump is charged with something, even if it’s not January 6th related, it will get him over that initial shock of charging a former president with a crime.

But once that shock is over, it could and should be open season.

…is them determine Trump was the reason the J6 insurrection happened and lay all the deaths that happened that day at his feet in the form of murder charges.

Imagine the bricks his fan boys are going to shit if Trump gets sentenced to the firing squad.
