“The View” co-hosts on Friday debated whether Donald Trump will go to prison in his hush money case.
“I really think that he will be convicted. There are 32 counts; he'll be convicted of some of them, if not all of them. I do believe that he will appeal the conviction,” co-host Sunny Hostin said. “I think it will matter that he was convicted. And I think he won't serve four years in prison, but I can't imagine that he gets off with no jail time. I think that would send the wrong message.”
“I think he will be convicted. My skepticism is that I'm not sure they've proven the case completely yet, but there's two more weeks of this. We still haven't heard from their star witness, Michael Cohen, so a lot could still happen,” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said in response.
“Monday is going to be a big deal, I think, in this case,” Hostin said.
“In my eyes, this has been absolutely proven, and I think part of the stupidity of Trump and his lawyers is denying this affair — which I think anybody and everybody with a brain knows happened, and that's why they're having to go into such salacious detail,” co-host Ana Navarro said.
“But all that being said, I'm not holding my breath that he gets convicted.”
“I think he's guilty, and I think he should be. I don't think they'll hold him accountable in the sense of serving any time,” co-host Sara Haines said.“I don't see a president being in jail,” co-host Joy Behar said.
“There's a lot of people who we all thought were guilty that didn't end up going to jail, right?” Navarro replied. “A lot of people felt that way about O.J. Simpson, who was also a powerful, rich celebrity. … So, I mean, I guess this time it's, if the condom don't fit, then you must acquit.”
