      The judge is Aileen Cannon. You know the judge that openly obstructed and has admitted bias towards helping Trump. When Smith testified to Congress he even talked about how she was a key player in delaying every part of the process of charging Trump.

      That’s not how a society built on laws work, and the judge would be abdicating his duty if he let him off light.

      Besides, he is MAGA, and I suspect that whole situation was set up as a PR boost for Trump. He’s the fall guy anyway.

        Laws aren’t black and white, they’re always open to interpretation and discretion. It’s why jury’s exist, it’s why lawyers exist, it’s why the courts exist, it’s why the police exist.

        If allowances aren’t made, it’s not a lawful society.

        You’re wanting to go back to Monarchy/dictatorship, which is where one person rules and makes the decisions.
