    This should make a few people nervous. Is this the first high-level Trump official who’s actually going to prison

      Stone, Flynn, and Bannon were all there, or on their way, before getting pardoned.

          I wonder what guys like Robert Mueller must think seeing how things have played out since his investigation. Maybe he’s just fine with it.

            I was just thinking about Blade Runner. The point being that people get swallowed up in bureaucracies and act like machines.

            My guess is that he thinks he was just doing his job and did it well and is fine with how it turned out.

          So vote for Biden this year. Trump, as president, could ask people to commit crimes and then just pardon them. Nixon only resigned because it “looked bad”.

          There are no legal repercussions as long as no one rats the president out. Why would they when he can pardon them?

        Bannon was also sentenced to a similar amount of time, but the judge let him free while he awaits his appeal to work its way through the system.

      Not nervous enough. This ass is going to some club fed where he’ll have TV and internet and luxuries that many free Americans can’t afford. The 13th Amendment says:

      Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

      I want to see these traitors treated like poor people get treated. I want so see him and the rest of the traitors in a prison in Georgia or Alabama or somewhere similar where they can be put to work doing manual labor for pennies an hour. I want to see them sent to a southern state to wear shackles and pick produce in the fields every day all summer. Then maybe their successors will me less likely to try their treason the next time they think they see the chance.
