Trump Literally Faces Centuries In Prison If Convicted on All Federal Counts


President Donald Trump is not a spring chicken by any means, but even if he was, he could never survive the maximum sentence as a free man that he would receive if he is convicted on all 37 counts against him contained in a federal indictment published on Friday.

Trump has been accused of dozens of violations regarding his handling of classified materials, and if he were to be found guilty on all counts and sentenced to the max time in prison, he faces nearly 500 years behind bars.

Here are the counts and their maximum sentences:

  • 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information — 10 years each
  • 3 counts of withholding or concealing documents in a federal investigation — 20 years each
  • 2 counts of false statements — 5 years each
  • 1 count of conspiracy to obstruct justice — 20 years
  • That adds up to 400 years, longer than the U.S. has been a country.

However, Trump is also under indictment in Manhattan on 34 felony counts regarding his hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

That said, it’s not likely that Trump will receive the maximum sentences and, based on several legal analyses of both cases, it’s not even a sure thing that he’ll be found guilty on any of the charges.

That said, Trump will also likely be indicted on charges stemming from his conversation with Georgia election officials following his 2020 loss. That case is wrapping up, and the prosecutor, Fulton County DA Fani Willis, has requested that judges clear dockets in early August in anticipation of the unsealing of charges.

“In a separate letter to a county Superior Court judge, she suggested that any indictments would likely come in August. The Democratic district attorney’s investigation began shortly after the release of a recording of a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which the then-president suggested that Raffensperger could ‘find 11,780 votes’ — just enough to overtake Democrat Joe Biden and overturn Trump’s narrow loss in the state,” Fox 5 Atlanta reported.

“But the investigation’s scope broadened considerably after that, and Willis convened a special grand jury to hear testimony from witnesses including high-profile Trump allies, such as attorney Rudy Giuliani and Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and high-ranking Georgia officials, such as Raffensperger and Gov. Brian Kemp,” the outlet added.
