Former Manhattan prosecutor Jeremy Saland reacted with mirth right after Donald Trump's felony sentencing hearing concluded on Friday morning during an appearance on MSNBC.
Sitting down with hosts Ana Cabrera and José Díaz-Balart, the legal analyst helped break down the proceedings as they were reported from Judge Juan Merchan's courtroom but was quick to offer up his own verdict as the sentencing hearing came to a close.
With host Cabrera noting the hearing concluded after approximately 30 minutes, Saland commented, "Yeah, not shocking. This doesn't need to be a whole played out in front of the TV cameras, Judge Merchan is doing his job."

"I mean, this is almost like the ghost of [special counsel] Jack Smith not yet biting Donald Trump on the be-hind," he joked which made fellow panelist and lawyer Kristin Gibbons Feden burst out laughing.
"And you know what?" he continued. "At the end of the day, incarceration or not, you are a felon. No matter what he says, no matter how many times he jumps up and down, he has a right to appeal. And ultimately that will be decided. But Donald Trump is a felon with a capital 'F' –– period, and no punishment."
