Since he changed the penalty for what he did to felonies with up to 5 years
in prison for each count from misdemeanors, maybe he can buy a set of knee
pads from the local hardware store and go to work sucking congressional dick like his life depended on it, because it would!
In 2018, as part of legislation that extended the FISA Amendments Act, Trump signed changes to U.S. Code that upgraded the sentencing protocol for the
crime of mishandling classified documents.
Previously punishable by no more than one year in jail, the change meant
those found guilty could face up to five years behind bars, upgrading the
crime from a misdemeanor to a felony.
While we don't know yet whether Trump has or will be charged under this law, the similarity of this legislation's wording to the offense that Special Counsel Jack Smith is said to have investigated strongly suggests it could be the case.
