    Because if Trump can get them to act emotionally his lawyers can argue that this is a witch hunt.

    They have to go through this painstaking process. If the don’t they embolden his base and suddenly those definitely-not-calls-to-action are much more threatening.

        No, what I’m saying is that when they finally throw Trump in jail the logic needs to be so ironclad that idiots can’t refute it.

        Keep in mind, these are idiots with guns that will absolutely use them on you because of what you believe/how you live. Hell, they’re just looking for a reason to use them on people period!

        I’m not advocating for Trump being given special treatment, I’m saying you have to think about the immediate backlash surrounding the “throw Trump in jail for contempt” move. It’s not going to be you that suffers, at least not immediately, it will be the people that his base perceives as responsible. Do you think it makes sense for them to rush judgements when they have actual guns pointed at them?

        Keep in mind, I am absolutely unaware of whether or not this is their reasoning. I cannot tell you what the prosecution, or anyone that finds themselves opposite Trump for that matter, is thinking. I’m only taking events as I see them and coming to, what I think is, a logical conclusion.

        Feel free to prove me wrong. I’m all ears, or eyes. Whatever, you don’t know me. I could be blind.

          Have you met these people? Logic, facts, reality … they don’t mean much to them. Trump could be convicted and jailed in a case where everything is done by the book, it simply doesn’t matter to these people. They live in a bubble of their own making and only let in things that support their world view.

          I don’t think anybody is calling for a rush to judgement.

          Feel free to prove me wrong.

          How can I prove an opinion wrong?
