Some pundits have described the New York case that led to Donald Trump's indictment as underwhelming. Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner, who is also a legal analyst on MSNBC, is having none of it.
Kirschner told me on "Salon Talks" Tuesday that he was surprised that the charges against Trump were all felonies, with no misdemeanors mixed in — and 34 felonies at that. "Trump is facing 34 felony counts, which for those scoring at home is a sentence potentially of 136 years in prison," Kirschner said. "Trump will be eligible for parole by the time he's 148."
