Trump attorney Todd Blanche was very neutered in his reply to Hannity on Fox News about Trump's upcoming sentencing after he was convicted on 34 felony counts.

I mean, look, the next step is the sentencing on July 11, and our goal there is quite simple, and that's to keep the leading candidate for President of the United States out of prison.

And that's what we're going to try to do, and he shouldn't go to prison, putting aside the fact the law suggests that somebody like him should never go to prison for this crime.

He was the President of the United States, and he, under no circumstances, should spend a day in prison.

And that's what we're going to be asking the judge to do, is to not sentence him to prison.

No MAGA bravado there.

I agree. Blanche was very deferential to Judge Merchan.
