here we have a corrupt inbred political environment and a case of "a nobody vs big fat powerful congressman" .....what do you think will happen ?
and why didn't this lawyer try a civil suit in some inner city "gold mine" . sheesh , fire the lawyer too !
If treason is [partially] defined as providing aid or comfort to the enemy (it is) , and the judge just aided him (and he did) then the judge is also a traitor.
Oh, how many people we could (and should) hang along that line of reasoning. :D
