I recall reading they don't allow raising of funds when the recipient is charged with a crime.
Maybe there are ways around it. Some nebulous "defense funds for patriots" or something else ridiculous.

Good thing Moscow Mitch sent the Senate home without passing any more money for COVID relief. At least now he won't be able to buy any more weapons to "save property."


Oh, and by the way, where DID he get to 2 million?

I don't believe you can seat a jury that will not have at least one MAGA that will hang the whole thing up.

And he will have a "Dream Team" of Right Wing lawyers representing him.

This will make that event seem like child's play by comparison.

Gaige Grosskreutz may not even testify, if he is a Restorative Justice advocate like Josh Dukes was (that's the Medic who was shot point-blank in the guts by Elizabeth Hokoana in Seattle on 1/20/17). That trial was nullified by a Juror; there were no riots. It barely made the news.

There will be no riots.
