Monday

Her legal counsel will have made a plea for de minimis assessment. IOW, yeah, she broke a law, but it was minimal, more like a violation than a willful decision to break the law. I'm certain she will need to show a little contrition, etc.

The worst that could happen is a sentence with maximum punishment and further, an ethics complaint for her disbarment.
