Federal PMITA prison, one would hope, but he'll probably end up in some cushy prison along with Shkreli, who also deserves some PMITA prison tie.
Of course a pardon is always a possibility, which would be an enormously stupid political move, and probably an impeachable offense, not that the current Congress would do anything about it.
Bold mine.
This. This is what frustrates me the most. If a pardon were to be granted, impeachment should result from it, but Congress might not do shit. Fuck us all.

The technique MUST be especially effective, lest I wouldn't see it used so much.
Where am I going wrong on this?
The popularity and existence of ad homs don't preclude other (actual) reasons from existing to conclude he's a dirt bag.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
