Thursday with jury selection.
He's taking a pretty bold chance that 12 jurors will find him innocent versus how a Judge, appointed by the White House occupant, will rule on his case.
And it was reported he turned down a plea deal, some months ago, which would have allowed him to serve 6 months, with time off for good bahaviour, and retain his law license.
Now, if found guilty, he faces something like 30 years, $1.5 million in fines, and loss of his license.
Does he really think he can pull this off or escape with house arrest at Figure 8 or Bald Head?
And his trial starts
