Trump gets no jail time or penalties in sentence for hush money conviction

1. President-elect Donald Trump was formally sentenced Friday in his hush money case, but the judge declined to impose any punishment. The outcome cements Trump's conviction while freeing him to return to the White House unencumbered by the threat of a jail term or a fine. Were you surprised the judge gave no punishment?

2. Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan could have sentenced the 78-year-old to up to four years in prison. Instead, he chose a sentence that sidestepped thorny constitutional issues by effectively ending the case but assured that Trump will become the first person convicted of a felony to assume the presidency. What do you think about having a convicted felon as a President? Select all that apply.

3. As a refresher, the hush money case accused Trump of fudging his business' records to veil a $130,000 payoff to porn actor Stormy Daniels. She was paid, late in Trump's 2016 campaign, not to tell the public about a sexual encounter she maintains the two had a decade earlier. Should allegations about personal matters, like those involving Stormy Daniels, be relevant to a politician's career?

4. Trump says: 'I'm totally innocent. I did nothing wrong'. He argued that voters saw what happened in this courtroom and, like him, thought it was a disgrace and supported him overwhelmingly in the election. Do you think he did anything wrong in regards to this case?
