Oh FFS, lock him up already!
Garland said "we will follow up on everyone regardless of who they are". We know now for a fact he was lying.
Every judge says they're going to treat him like any other defendant. We are in the process of learning that they are lying.
I'm not saying Chutkan is going to obviously spike the case like Cannon or Judge Rittenhouse, I think she's going to try to run a decent trial if it gets to that point.
But pre-trial punishment? Not a snowflake's chance in hell. These judges all still want to be invited to cocktail parties and given country club memberships. The elite is loyal to the elite.
Part of the problem is that he wants badly for them to find him in contempt - to his followers it will be absolute proof that it's a witch hunt. I can already read the headlines about how they locked him up to silence him and BS like that.
I'm not necessarily saying that means they still shouldnt do it, but there are more reasons than corruption to tread softly here
why would the opinion of his followers even matter tho? this is a court case, not an election. even if it were an election, they'd vote for him regardless.
And stop reporting every little inanne thing he says and does.
Seriously, enough with the "warnings". The country's starting to look like China.
