Reality Check: Unpacking the Trump Indictment

When the FBI executed the search warrant at Mar-a-lago and discovered a trove of confidential and top secret government documents, we did a deep dive into the realm of possibilities (EP 12:  Mar-a-la-going To Prison??) should Trump ever be charged, tried and convicted.  But, we didn't know then what we know now.  So, here we follow up and fill in any holes on what's in store for the former president. In this analysis, we address the burning question:  Is he being treated any differently than the average John Q Citizen that finds themselves on the receiving end of a federal indictment?  In so doing, we make comparisons to another "Espionage Act" prosecution, that of Reality Winner. The most pressing question now is what happens tomorrow? We tried not to go over much of the ground we covered in Ep. 12.  If you haven't heard it, you should check it out:   YOUTUBE LINK:  https://youtu.be/gUt2XnY4JPE APPLE PODCAST LINK:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mar-a-lago-ing-to-prison-worst-case-scenarios-if/id1622272089?i=1000576122438   IN THIS EPISODE: Updates to the guideline calculations now that we have a better picture of the alleged conduct; Comparing Trump's case to Reality Winner; Other musings on the inner workings of the federal criminal system;   RELATED EPISODE:   We tried not to go over much of the ground we covered in the intial podcast back in August 2022.  If you haven't heard it, you probably should:   YOUTUBE LINK:  https://youtu.be/gUt2XnY4JPE APPLE PODCAST LINK:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mar-a-lago-ing-to-prison-worst-case-scenarios-if/id1622272089?i=1000576122438
