My understanding is that these sorts of white collar crimes don’t normally result in jail time for defendants with no previous criminal record, in New York state courts.

I get the feeling that the number of counts doesn’t really matter here, because they are not really unique crimes. My understanding is that they brought 34 charges because they had 34 documents they thought they could prove in court were fraudulent, but it is materialy the same crime (deliberately mischaracterizing the nature of the payment)

I’ve also seen the top image blurred in my feed, but additional images on the post show unblurred

It is just a public statement of support. There are only consequences to the extent that people care about/respect the opinion and judgment of the person giving the endorsement.

In this case, it’s valuable to RFK Jr in so far as individuals listening to Joe Rogan either think Joe has good insights into who should be president, or just want to be like him and will vote the way they think he will vote

I think that “wipes out” here is referring to the lead that Trump had in the polls previously. All the states went from a clear lead for Trump over Biden, to basically even, with one exception showing a clear lead.

I think that it suggests a competitive race, rather than one side coasting to victory. It is hard to draw concrete conclusions still, but the clear lead is definitely gone
