Number one, a judge of Trump's age that does not have any prior offenses in New York would never serve a day of jail time in any other case. I mean, look, You can physically assault someone. You can repeatedly, violently beat people up. You can engage in all sorts of crimes and not serve jail time in New York. That being said, I think it's entirely possible this judge is enough of a partisan to say, you're the president. What you did mattered. I'm sentencing you to four years in jail. (49:33–49:44)
