Option 1: Jail time before the election martyrizes trump, would be called election interference

2: Jail time but begins after the election: tRump would use it all over the places calling it election interference

** 3: Jail time but handed down after the election. Fits given "delay" in sentencing. Most likely scenario by my reading of things.

4: No jail time: no good reason to delay sentencing since tRump could not make hay out of it since he is already convicted.
