I disagree that the sentence will be home confinement.

In a just and fair system, so do I, but not every crime even requires minimum sentencing -- only fines and maximum sentencing -- and haven't we seen far too many rich old white men manage to finagle/wangle their way out of meaningful "time" one way or another? If convicted, Donald has several trump cards with which to play, not the least of which are "diminished faculties" (discussed above with Mezzomamma) and lots of Benjamins for multiple appeals.

Case in point, for the unlawful retention of classified documents the sentencing for each count is the payment of fines up to a maximum or imprisonment up to five years or both. There are no minimums. And who is the judge (at present)?

That's part of my reasoning. Hope I am 100% totally wrong. :)

I wouldn't bet against the even more severe sentence of dementia of some variety.

Me neither. It's hereditary and he already shows obvious signs of it... and why I figure he'll somehow wangle his way out of doing "hard time."

You'll more likely than not have to settle for the bitter angry old man in orange clown face and maybe Defendant Donald sporting an "ankle bracelet" and serving home confinement if he's ever convicted.

The good news is that due to his multiple criminal indictments and being sued in multiple civil courts by so many police officers and American citizens to whom he caused harm that he'll spend the rest of his remaining senior years (hopefully multiple decades) miserable and whining (as usual) and in litigation all across the United States. Poor Donald.

If I was President Biden, I would begin now making a list of which official acts I was planning to do.

Put on official speed dial:
* 1st SFOD-D
* NSWDG
* USSF
* 24th STS

This would be an official act just in case the need arises to act officially.

So Delta Force, SEAL Team Six, Space Force, and 24th Special Tactics Squadron... by land, sea, space, and air... the CIC can never be too officially prepared to act in an official manner (not personal).

But hold the phone/wait just a minute. This official act seems more like an act that would be best performed officially by USAISA a.k.a. Task Force Orange.

And... no... I'm (officially) not making this up. :)
