Not sure I'd want this guy for my lawyer. I mean, he's speaking gospel truth, but that's not necessarily a trait I value in a defense attorney. Not my defense attorney, anyway...

‘I Want To Separate Him Out From That Herd Of Thugs’

For Capitol defendants’ attorneys, finding mitigating factors will be key in softening potential prison sentences.

Albert Watkins, the “Q Shaman” Jacob Chansley’s attorney, said his client had Asperger’s syndrome and indicated that Chansley’s mental state — and the impact of Trump’s “propaganda” efforts — would play a role in his case.

“A lot of these defendants — and I’m going to use this colloquial term, perhaps disrespectfully — but they’re all fucking short-bus people,” Watkins told TPM. “These are people with brain damage, they’re fucking retarded, they’re on the goddamn spectrum.”

“But they’re our brothers, our sisters, our neighbors, our coworkers — they’re part of our country. These aren’t bad people, they don’t have prior criminal history. Fuck, they were subjected to four-plus years of goddamn propaganda the likes of which the world has not seen since fucking Hitler.”

'Few people grasp the severity' of Trump’s legal peril and will be shocked if he's finally charged

With news that the New York Attorney General's Office is now criminally investigating the Trump Organization, New York Magazine columnist Jonathan Chait argues that prosecutors need to start preparing Americans for the possibility that former President Donald Trump will be charged criminally.

Chait writes that while many people believe Trump will yet again skate as he did after former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, he thinks that Trump has lost many of the advantages he had that kept him from being charged with obstruction of justice.

"I've found that even among news-savvy liberals I speak with, few people grasp the severity of Trump's legal exposure," writes Chait. "His likely criminal record has been discussed much less frequently, and often in fairly long, dense reported investigative stories."

Should Trump really face criminal charges, however, Chait believes it would deliver a shock to tens of millions of Americans who still back the president -- and even many people who don't.

"A criminal prosecution of a former president, especially one who is still functioning as his party's leader, would be an unsettling and potentially traumatic development," argues Chait. "I wrote last year about the dilemma it would present: The upside of imposing accountability for his decades of operating outside the law without consequence would be offset by the dangerous perception that he was just facing political retaliation."

The challenge for prosecutors, Chait concludes, is telling Americans that Trump "isn't facing criminal accountability because he lost, but because it should have happened years ago."

hedge, the federal fucking government investigated Trump and all his associates for 4+ years. And everyone on the team fucking HATED the man. All of them. They had a limitless budget. They had limitless time. And in the end, it was proven to be nothing but a political dog and pony show where the chief piece of evidence was created with unprovable nonsense and funded by a hysterical cvnt who thinks she was deserving to be President.

That happened.

I know you don't like POTUS Trump. I know the day Mueller gave his final testimony before the Senate in his independent investigation saying that he didn't have anything on any US Citizens, it must have made you vomit in your mouth. But that is the way it goes. You can't just send someone to prison because of politics. We don't do that in the United States. You actually need to be CONVICTED of a crime. You (of all people) should know that. That is the ONLY REASON why one guy (just one) went to prison during the 2008 financial crisis. He was the only one they could convict of breaking an actual law.

[eCat]

we're not going to put a former president in prison

He won't spend a single day in jail

now I concede he could possibly be convicted of something

but the man is not going to prison
