    The asymmetry you’re talking about is the presumption of innocence, and I would prefer not to “reform” that. Trump isn’t guilty of leading a coup until he’s convicted of leading a coup with every t crossed and every i dotted.

      No, but he’s guilty of acting like a total ass in court, which would get literally anyone else thrown in jail. I don’t want to see him get his consequences without due process, but it’s disgusting that people like him get different treatment.
