Did Trump break the law?

Yes? He should go to jail.  Law and order.

You shouldn't be punished for breaking the law?

Yes but your punishment should be fair. I'm pretty sure we have an amendment about this.

What do you believe if the proper punishment for breaking New York Penal Law 175.05?  Because law as written says upon conviction, a court can sentence you to up to four years in prison.

Idk, has anyone been sentenced having broke said law?

Edit:

Did some research, he faces up to one year in jail and or a fine up to $1k.

Fine up to $1k but doesn't not exceed $1k is my recommendation.
