I can't think of a single good outcome here.
He obviously isn't going to prison, just imagine the secret service concerns.
There will probably be political sanctions, but who cares, he's only damaging the GOP right now. This isn't about that anyways, this is about the rule of law.
I dont think Trump gets out of ALL of this without some prison. Remember there's the NY case, there's the J-6 case which has wire fraud tossed in there, then theres the Georgia election interference, which he's also on tape...and this. This is MORE sh*t than some mobsters died in prison over. And I think everyone prosecuting him is aware of this. Global eyes are on us like "ok US, beacon of Democracy. Just how corrupt are you?" If Trump gets convicted of even 1/4 of this sh*t and is still walking around scamming working class followers out of money, then we're just as much of a Geopolitical joke as we were when he was President.
Democrats are only as good as the GOP makes them be, and that's an incredibly low bar.
For sure, when they agreed to start taking corporate money over Union money they became essentially Republicans, just ones who didnt use far right populism.
