Coup Plotter Briefly Handcuffed; but out again on Bail

[magicguido]

his lawyer knows how to pretend to be "outraged"

1. Of course he's out on bail; the crime he committed was a misdemeanor.

Nobody, however odious they might be, gets pretrial detention for a nonviolent misdemeanor. The crime he was charged with wasn't coup-plotting - maybe that will come later - it was failing to respond to a congressional subpoena.

2. I'm suprised he got handcuffed, though it gives me me a bit of unhealthy satisfaction.

3. He was released *without* bail

4. He's so narcissistic he is delusional.Is that what he sees looking in the mirror?or something else

5. Convict him and give him the max.

Go back and ask him after a couple weeks in jail if he's ready to talk. He'll probably have a change of heart. If they put him in jail and indict the others who won't testify, I think they'll begin to crack. Those people won't be able to handle being in jail for even a short period.

6. handled with kid gloves

by a justice system that favours a racist, fascist nazi. But what's new? Right everything for him...

7. It's not kid gloves, it's normal procedure for a misdemeanor charge.
