A part of me hopes they fine him $130k. Fining him the exact amount he paid Stormy Daniels somehow feels like an even bigger "fuck you" than the maximum possible financial penalty.

So with the inflation adjustment, that looks like ... 172k today!

No, that won't do any rehabilitation. It needs to be jailed or maybe cleaning the highway.

He would surely rather die than rehabilitate, and frankly probably won't have much choice in the matter given his age and condition, even if he were willing to try.
