Just think – he’ll also get the opportunity to become the first president to be criminally convicted imprisoned.

We'll see, I've seen some speculation that getting a jury which doesn't include people who believe that he's innocent and this is all a frame job by the Left/Jewish folk/reptilians is unlikely over in America nowadays.

Trump should be executed under the espionage act.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

If he gets convicted for espionage, I wonder if he'll be banned from running for president... My minimum wish for this is that the fucker can't hold any kind of office again.

I thought he was gonna take a plea deal?

[–] SquishyPandaDev@yiffit.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He asked for a plea deal. The prosecutors laughed and said "No." They have an open and shut case against Trump. He is screwed

Not to be That Guy (but promptly being That Guy) do you have a source? I've not seen anything about him asking for a plea deal. Thanks.

He also stressed that he would not accept a plea deal unless he was presented one "where they pay me some damages."

I mean, yeah, of course they're going to laugh and say no to that.
