Why haven't more criminals thought of this?

[-] modifier@lemmy.ca 35 points 2 months ago

Wardens hate this one simple trick!

[-] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 125 points 2 months ago

"No."

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 100 points 2 months ago

And only a 4 month sentence. Had he not spent years fighting it, he could have served that time years ago and be out already months ago.

[-] andyburke@fedia.io 102 points 2 months ago

Or he could have avoided the whole thing by complying with the congressional subpoena. 🤷‍♂️

These people are something else.

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

If he told the truth under oath, he would never get out of prison.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Probably accurate.

4mo? Why did they bother wasting the gas to drive him to a prison he could do 4mo in county. Practically a fucking vacation.

[-] treefrog@lemm.ee 19 points 2 months ago

It's federal. If it had been state charges he would have sat in county.

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

There is a reason Trump imploded after he went to jail.

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 16 points 2 months ago

He might've been trying to delay it in hopes that tangerine got back in the WH and pardoned him

[-] Rekhyt@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

again. Pardon him again.

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 65 points 2 months ago

I ask that he never leave prison.

[-] Bahnd@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago

Made me think of that one scene from Idiocracy.

Not Sure: "Im supposed to be getting out of prision..."

Guard: "Your in the wrong line stupid."

[-] Kraven_the_Hunter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 months ago

Seconded.

That's how this works right?

[-] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Who knows. Let's try it.

Motion has been moved and seconded. All those in favor say "Aye."

[-] Kraven_the_Hunter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

Aye.

[-] whostosay@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Only if it is immediate will I agree.

[-] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 41 points 2 months ago

Guess the toilet wine must not be getting the job done. I hope he has an awful time.

[-] outerspace@lemmy.zip 16 points 2 months ago

I ask for immediate salary increase, put that into news

[-] kikutwo@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Ah, let me see. Hell no!

[-] echo 9 points 2 months ago

I hope you get to meet Epstein while there...

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 5 points 2 months ago

I think ouija boards are prohibited in most prisons

[-] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 14 points 2 months ago

I'm sure they meant meet in person and not over the phone.

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Just need to get a line to him somehow...

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Any way his stay can be extended instead?

[-] ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

"Nah."
