What are the odds that’s who he voted for… twice. Doesn’t matter, he deserves punishment either way, I’m just guessing. The lawyer’s argument is stupid btw.
I remember that while the black lady went to prison three white Trump supporters were found guilty of intentional voter fraud and they were given probation.
She was told by two election officials that she was eligible to vote. She put in a provisional ballot so her vote wasn’t even counted. She is currently appealing the sentence. It looks good for a reversal from what I understand- as it should be👍🏻
He held an office of public trust, likely took an oath, is a lawyer and must uphold ethics. His sense of privilege is immense. Remember the 'unsophisticated' voter in FL who got 5 years??? She was entitled to much more grace than this dude.
Defense attorney's argument is ABSURD. EVERYONE KNOWS YOU CAN'T VOTE IN TWO, OR MORE, STATES. You can ONLY vote in the state where your PRIMARY residence is.
BS he knew he is committing a crime even a teenager knows it is illegal to cheat on voting. The state should not be the one to pay his legal fees. Teach him a lesson let him pay for all his legal expenses.
@@iquitnow yes. He thinks he's special. He thinks his vote is more important than yours or mine. They said he had several high degrees so he can read and understand. Not only should he go to jail but he should not be able to vote for the next two elections. His attorneys argument is ludicrous. He knew he couldn't vote in two different states but his privilege makes him think he's special.
Poor baby, will have to drain his TRUST FUND to pay an appeal attorney, which costs $$$. Drain his swamp before others do the same, like Ted Cancun Cruz.
Guilty of a charge? Pay the price. Mr. Saunders should have been charged for each individual time he violated the law, and if found guilty on all counts there should have been more years in prison than what this convict received. He is receiving privilege treatment, for sure. 🙈🙉🙊
An attorney with two homes receiving money from a trust plus his actual income and he believes the Ohio taxpayers should pay some or all of his legal bills is absurd. I'm sure he has equity built up in both his homes etc. His property should be auctioned off to pay expenses just like the rest of us and claiming he has no dependents is not a good argument. I wouldn't be surprised that many in the state of Ohio live on $35k per year and expect more from their taxes.Their was a woman in Texas that was told she could vote then she was arrested. Of course she wasn't a white male
He absolutely should be eligible for being declared indigent. You should not believe what the news or media tells you as all citizens are entitled to keep a home, car, and limited cash & still be able to get free healthcare, free atty when needed as it’s to be provided to every single citizen in the USA. Please tell every one when the Government, at any time, is able to legally take possession of any home & sell it off to pay for “atty fees”, lol, you have completely lost it or need to seek a mental health assessment as you’re way off. The man has been incarcerated for more than a year, hasn’t been able to work as he didn’t have bond, & for a white collar crime. I can bet you’re the same person that is 100% one of the catch & release people for those violent criminals that run around stealing, looting, killing others, & you’re worried about a man who has been incarcerated so he has no ability to earn additional income for himself. It’s ironic he’s in jail for voting in elections in 2 state’s when he was told he could vote as he resided in both state’s between his work taking him back & forth. He wasn’t robbing, killing, stealing anything like so many had done at their club home.
Convicted felons and dishonorably discharged individuals are not aloud to vote. just like voting twice we know this. Someone telling you something doesn’t make it true. If your license is suspended and dmv issues you one doesn’t mean you have a valid license means someone made a mistake. Still getting arrested
Give me a break! The, 'my client lived a privileged life and had two houses, and' although he's a FREAKIN' ATTORNEY AND SO WOULD FREAKIN' KNOW BETTER, 'he shouldn't be held accountable for his illegal activity.' He should be punished MORE because he's a damn attorney and KNEW DAMNED WELL he was illegally voting in two freakin' states!
@@MultiMicelle LOL -- first, he's wearing orange. Second, "Federal Elections Commission filings showed that Saunders had made monthly donations to then-President Donald Trump’s re-election campaigns and various other conservative political groups in the run-up to that election. Prior to the November 2022 election, Saunders donated to groups that supported GOP congressional candidates in an effort to capture a majority in the U.S. House and Senate."
Next, those complicit in Congress! Fourteenth Amendment Section 3 No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Suddenly he’s talking with a British accent! What a crook?!? These Judges should receive extra compensation for being exposed to these lawyers and criminals.
That lawyer has achieved a Tibetan Monk’s legendary hability to be at two places at once. Bravo. Seriously, a lawyer pretending not knowing about fraud… If lawyers are not being held to higher standards that lay people, well you end up with judges like Aileen Cannon, John G. Roberts, Jr., Clarence Thomas, Samuel A. Alito, Jr., Brett M. Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.
I don't see anyone thinking that but right now Republicans have lost their way not even requiring them to have experience such as Amy.Also not caring when they obviously receive pay offs.
Would you look at that?! The R’s were right about voter fraud - because they had insider knowledge. Bet they didn’t think the calls for investigation would shine the spotlight their way. 😂
Exactly. You know what GOP stands for: Gaslight. Obstruct. Project (long o). Most of the cases of voter fraud were by MAGAts. There were a few cases where a state (Florida) told ex-convicts that their voting rights were restored, so the person voted, but after the election,the state said their voting rights were not restored. Both MAGAts and Dems had been told this. Guess who was arrested, in Florida, for voting? No one should have been,but the Dems were arrested.
18:37 Oh lord this guy is opening up a whole new can of worms, where every citizen can vote once in every state. They really are trying to destroy our democratic process, aren’t they?
$35,000.00 a year is a decent salary for not working, he has a fekking Trust. My sister lives on less. This was so interesting, I’ve never been in a criminal court, and this was enlightening. Thank you.
He needs to be questioned about which other of his peers did the same. It must have been a Trump supporters thing to do. The lies of his own attorney too. Throw him in after him too.
The defense lawyer has a huge amount of leeway to provide a 'strenuous defense.' That usually means there will be some obfuscation involved. 36 months is an appropriate sentence. The judge was going by guidelines and he followed them to the letter.
The Judges sentencing is HORRIFYING !! He is a lawyer and knew better so he was thumping his nose at the law. He not only did it once he did it twice and he never said that he was sorry. So he showed no remorse. He should get the maximum and should never vote in any state ever again. He is not destitute since he owns more then one home and has other moneys coming in from other places. Poor people get more time then his rich ass just did. How unjust.
That is a bunch of bs. He knew what he was doing, amazing how the defense is twisting and turning the law to his advantage. Stooges, we know what you are doing, crooks insulting people's intelligence. Smh
@@kimr3755 what is the stars and bars doing on the Ohio flag? Was hoping someone would say that though because flying the stars and bars in a courtroom says the law doesn't matter to us. It's a very upsetting message.
@@bradhombre6912 from Arkansas. Never quite understood why people were offended by the Stars and Bars.

On indigency: 1) could he rent out his DC condo? There's a source of income. 2. Earning more than $100k / year, and single, I would expect him to have bank accounts. The PD didn't look. 3. He may also have IRA's or other pensions. Hard to believe an attorney in his 50's doesn't.
I certainly don’t condone voter fraud but the normal penalty is a few hundred $’s in fines & up to 2 years in prison so it doesn’t seem like we’d be under the jail or on death row.
@@danielleS257 I wonder if there are extenuating circumstances that could make the penalty could be harsher. If it is a minor slap on the hand they will just do it again, like the big cheeto.
@@MrKilobaked I think historically it hasn’t been a big problem, usually we are pleading with people to vote once but when handing out jail/prison space in an already overcrowded system, there is a hierarchy with violent crimes being first, murder, assault, rape, abuse etc… then financial crimes of a certain value, Enron, Bernie Madoff. robbery, theft then it trickles down to minor/petty crime shoplifting, and apparently voter fraud which is pretty rare, for example in the 2020 presidential election, out of 159,000,000 votes (ballots cast) there were 475 cases of fraud, a decent # of these were people on probation or former felons who thought their voting rights had been restored (see Florida for how that happened), many were people who own homes in more than 1 state who thought that entitled to vote in both or people who voted for a spouse or parent who died relatively close to the election and the family “knew how they wanted to vote) and then there are people who just wanted their guy to win. But either way, you’re talking about far less than 1% of all votes and contrary to the non stop spewing of bull 💩, there are pretty good systems in place to maintain election security, this guy is a perfect example of that. And hopefully he looks at the 18 months as not worth it much like the shoplifter at Walmart who is far more likely to be a repeat offender.
Not for these charges. Even the prosecutor acknowledged this was the maximum, and made it a point in the interview to emphasize it. 1:01:24 ironic that the prosecutor went out of his way to highlight the fact, and clearly people still didn't watch it, or appreciate it.
I appreciate the context provided at the end regarding maximum sentencing. It seemed too short, even running consecutively, so learning it was the max was helpful.
I'm glad that they are taking this more seriously because its been going on for to long and sometimes they getaway with cheating and cause great harm !!!!
“what is an election? 😂 -def attorney he should get tried in Florida too🙄it should also be noted: this is the state of the republican party (period) the republican party is no longer the party of “fiscal responsibility”, but “fiscal deniability”
Wait, he can’t collect unemployment or social security while he’s incarcerated. He won’t be able to collect social security until the time he gets out of jail & then it will be much lower as he’s not worked since 2018.
54:26 His lawyer trying to make sure he gets paid by crying "my client is poor", one more time. He's worried he won't get paid because his client is going to jail & won't have access to his money.
Im a conservative. And Yes, Only one vote 🗳 per person, Per election. This Saunders guy has a long history of doing this, it sounds like. And hes a lawyer ect. Hmmmm.... He deserves Prison time for sure.
I applaud this judge he took this as serious as it is. He went by the book and like the judge stated he knew better that he can't vote from 2 dfferent states. When the defense attorney was speaking earlier he said that his client thought that since he has 2 residences that he could vote at 2 both his residences even though he had to know that you can not vote in both states. He also worked in the federal government and being a lawyer he knew the laws. The judge was'nt buying that story. I was hoping that the prosecuter would ask which state is his drivers license, that would be his primary state of residence, where he can vote from only. I know my aunt and uncle had 3 properties in Florida and they were from Maine and of cause had their primary home in Maine. As they got up to their early 70s they started vacation at one of their propeties longer in Florida. They always left in November from Maine and came back to Maine in May. When they were in their 70s they decided to stay much longer 9 months in Florida and come back to Maine for 3 months. When they made that change they both had to register their car in Florida because they were living in Florida much longer then Maine so Florida became their primary residence. That meant they could no longer vote in Maine they had to vote in Florida. I was only in my 20s with only high school education and certified nurses aide schooling to be state certified and my point, I knew this, so no way did'nt this lawyer know this. He is very lucky for what he received for a sentence, but he thinks he is entitled, and I hope he loses his appeal. There is no good reason for this man to not go to prison. I'm happy that the judge refused him bail. This man was not going to stay another second in jail and figured he will win his appeal. What a snake. I love this judge.
Like hell he should get a state paid attorney...he needs to actually get work and pay his bills. Already, he has had someone's else's income to pay for his lifestyle and his choice to commit crimes
A man with a law degree, among other degrees, claims he didn't know he could only vote once and in only one state. This is also a man with multiple degrees that hasn't been employed for 8 years. Now he wants the state to pay for his appeal. He stated that his income from the last job he had was $125K a year. The man is a bum.
This defense lawer is insultingly mocking those of us who choose to follow the laws of the land including the common sense law and belief that we vote 1 time even as children in school elections. The defense tried to reinterpret voteing laws. Very unAmerican.
You can only claim one residency and it is that residency that you will vote from the one that you claim to be your residence that you live in not all residents that you own but the one that you live in you only get to vote from there
The judge was awesome and perfectly out him in his place. I know attorneys zealously defend their clients, but these arguments are ridiculous. And then to argue that his client being raised in a life of elitist privilege is cause for leniency? Pfft. Lock him up.
She got six years and a day. In spite of her probation officer giving her a document certifying that she was finished with her probation and thus eligible to vote. Note: She was active in Black Lives Matter snd had the audacity to want to run for mayor of Memphis. Any guesses why she got 6 years?
Voter fraud - does not want to pay for his lawyer... hmmm - reminds me of someone else.
The best people. 😂
Let me guess the someone else he reminds you of is the same one he voted for -speaking of voter's fraud! Got what he deserves.
It does sound reminiscent of something I heard on the news recently.....
What are the odds that’s who he voted for… twice. Doesn’t matter, he deserves punishment either way, I’m just guessing. The lawyer’s argument is stupid btw.
🏞🏞🏞🏞Up the river🏞🏞🏞🏞🏞
He should be trialed in Florida too. A black ex-inmate got 5 yrs. for didn’t know that she can’t vote.
I remember that while the black lady went to prison three white Trump supporters were found guilty of intentional voter fraud and they were given probation.
Is she still in jail? That case was bs
Agreed, but skeptical because FL is messed up justice-wise.
She was told by two election officials that she was eligible to vote. She put in a provisional ballot so her vote wasn’t even counted.
She is currently appealing the sentence. It looks good for a reversal from what I understand- as it should be👍🏻

@@MrKilobaked I think historically it hasn’t been a big problem, usually we are pleading with people to vote once but when handing out jail/prison space in an already overcrowded system, there is a hierarchy with violent crimes being first, murder, assault, rape, abuse etc… then financial crimes of a certain value, Enron, Bernie Madoff. robbery, theft then it trickles down to minor/petty crime shoplifting, and apparently voter fraud which is pretty rare, for example in the 2020 presidential election, out of 159,000,000 votes (ballots cast) there were 475 cases of fraud, a decent # of these were people on probation or former felons who thought their voting rights had been restored (see Florida for how that happened), many were people who own homes in more than 1 state who thought that entitled to vote in both or people who voted for a spouse or parent who died relatively close to the election and the family “knew how they wanted to vote) and then there are people who just wanted their guy to win. But either way, you’re talking about far less than 1% of all votes and contrary to the non stop spewing of bull 💩, there are pretty good systems in place to maintain election security, this guy is a perfect example of that. And hopefully he looks at the 18 months as not worth it much like the shoplifter at Walmart who is far more likely to be a repeat offender.
Not for these charges. Even the prosecutor acknowledged this was the maximum, and made it a point in the interview to emphasize it. 1:01:24 ironic that the prosecutor went out of his way to highlight the fact, and clearly people still didn't watch it, or appreciate it.
Meadows should join him 😮
Another one bites the dust!!!
Mark Meadows should go to jail too!
Lock him up along with Trump and his maga tears in my democracy cup
I appreciate the context provided at the end regarding maximum sentencing. It seemed too short, even running consecutively, so learning it was the max was helpful.
Lock him up!!
And how in the world did he get a public defender???
No sir!!
Wow... An attorney who doesn't know you only vote once in an election. Seriously? How dumb does he think this judge is to believe that BS?
So how many times did the attorney himself vote then.? Check him out.
They said he is 57. I think that trust is more than available to him
I'm glad that they are taking this more seriously because its been going on for to long and sometimes they getaway with cheating and cause great harm !!!!
They are picking and choosing who to go after though
@@iquitnow
???Meaning???
Good job your HONOR🙏🙏🙏
“what is an election? 😂 -def attorney
he should get tried in Florida too🙄it should also be noted: this is the state of the republican party (period) the republican party is no longer the party of “fiscal responsibility”, but “fiscal deniability”
Wait, he can’t collect unemployment or social security while he’s incarcerated. He won’t be able to collect social security until the time he gets out of jail & then it will be much lower as he’s not worked since 2018.
I love justice
54:26 His lawyer trying to make sure he gets paid by crying "my client is poor", one more time. He's worried he won't get paid because his client is going to jail & won't have access to his money.
An attorney should know.
an atty should get life for what he did
😂😂😂 OMG in Cleveland 😮 😂😂 he won't do THAT no more 😂😂😊 the judge just BBQ his defense team
What a dumb reason to go to prison smh. No family, no money, and way too much time on his hands 🤣
Im a conservative. And Yes, Only one vote 🗳 per person, Per election.
This Saunders guy has a long history of doing this, it sounds like. And hes a lawyer ect.
Hmmmm.... He deserves Prison time for sure.
Let me guess… he voted for republicans in both states.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤦🏻
Why didn't Florida charge him too?
Amen Judge
M A G A. Make Attorneys Get Attorneys 😂😂
Maga = my arse got arrested. 😅
He should also lose his law license and never be allowed to vote again.
Republicans trademark! Cheat and shout 😂😂😂
Dude makes more than double what I get a month. Let him pay his own lawyers. Downsize his life style.
I don't care who he voted for. One person cannot vote in two states. Period.
You have got to care that he voted for Trump
I applaud this judge he took this as serious as it is. He went by the book and like the judge stated he knew better that he can't vote from 2 dfferent states. When the defense attorney was speaking earlier he said that his client thought that since he has 2 residences that he could vote at 2 both his residences even though he had to know that you can not vote in both states. He also worked in the federal government and being a lawyer he knew the laws. The judge was'nt buying that story. I was hoping that the prosecuter would ask which state is his drivers license, that would be his primary state of residence, where he can vote from only. I know my aunt and uncle had 3 properties in Florida and they were from Maine and of cause had their primary home in Maine. As they got up to their early 70s they started vacation at one of their propeties longer in Florida. They always left in November from Maine and came back to Maine in May. When they were in their 70s they decided to stay much longer 9 months in Florida and come back to Maine for 3 months. When they made that change they both had to register their car in Florida because they were living in Florida much longer then Maine so Florida became their primary residence. That meant they could no longer vote in Maine they had to vote in Florida. I was only in my 20s with only high school education and certified nurses aide schooling to be state certified and my point, I knew this, so no way did'nt this lawyer know this. He is very lucky for what he received for a sentence, but he thinks he is entitled, and I hope he loses his appeal. There is no good reason for this man to not go to prison. I'm happy that the judge refused him bail. This man was not going to stay another second in jail and figured he will win his appeal. What a snake. I love this judge.
Like hell he should get a state paid attorney...he needs to actually get work and pay his bills. Already, he has had someone's else's income to pay for his lifestyle and his choice to commit crimes
A man with a law degree, among other degrees, claims he didn't know he could only vote once and in only one state. This is also a man with multiple degrees that hasn't been employed for 8 years. Now he wants the state to pay for his appeal. He stated that his income from the last job he had was $125K a year. The man is a bum.
He thought he saw a loophole that he could cynically exploit for his own benefit. He fucked around. And found out.
He has Pedigree?? Dog chow?😂
Peculiar pedigree? A life of privilege is a mitigating factor? 🤮
No Soup for you!!!!
If he’s found indigent, there is no justice.
Let me guess, a trumper
Ohio!! Republicans!!
What a stupid thing to do for one vote extra 😣😶🙃
This defense lawer is insultingly mocking those of us who choose to follow the laws of the land including the common sense law and belief that we vote 1 time even as children in school elections. The defense tried to reinterpret voteing laws. Very unAmerican.
You can only claim one residency and it is that residency that you will vote from the one that you claim to be your residence that you live in not all residents that you own but the one that you live in you only get to vote from there
Closing arguments lawyer for defendant is a real trip, throw him in the cell too.
My income is less. Since I don't break the law, I don't have to worry.
Defense attorney: *There ARE additional tests that HAVE to happen.
29,000/month, I make less than that, His Defence Atturney should pay for it if worried.
Ha ha, but it's perfectly OK to vote in two states for Mark Meadows.
said he didnt start collecting the trust fund but later said he lived off the trust fund ??? Contradicting much ? Perjury ?
The judge was awesome and perfectly out him in his place.
I know attorneys zealously defend their clients, but these arguments are ridiculous. And then to argue that his client being raised in a life of elitist privilege is cause for leniency? Pfft. Lock him up.
Didn't a black lady get 5 years for close to the same thing?
Lol no she got off with no prison. Because she’s a black demorat and voted for a demorat.
She voted after being in prison. Voted once.
@@jamieusaawas she not told she could vote!
She didn't even vote, she registered to vote after asking the state and the still sent her back to prison.
She got six years and a day. In spite of her probation officer giving her a document certifying that she was finished with her probation and thus eligible to vote. Note: She was active in Black Lives Matter snd had the audacity to want to run for mayor of Memphis.
Any guesses why she got 6 years?
Good! That's an appropriate sentence.
Somebody please tell Trump,we’ve got one, this video must bow up!
Should have a nice chunk of change when he gets out 😂 😂
