Time served, which was the one day he had to surrender to be processed, or an unconditional discharge, which means, okay, you're going to go through life as President of the United States with 34 convictions hanging around your neck for the rest of your life and throughout the history unless an appellate court reverses it. And go on and be president of the United States. What is he going to do?

I would suspect Rashad will give him a tongue lashing saying you've been convicted. You're a convicted felon. I think what you did was horrible. And you set a horrible precedent. But this is a unique case. And I would have sent you to jail. But now I think I cannot send you to jail in the interest of justice. You should send him in for community service.
