He does have that 'roided up psycho look
Maybe he'll do a stint in gen pop where a real badass can give him the "concrete therapy " he deserves.

former U.S. prosecutor from Tampa who helped the federal government indict Florida residents accused of participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol is about to stand trial himself.
According to court records, Patrick Douglas Scruggs is expected at the Pinellas County Justice Center on May 3 at 8:30 a.m. for a pre-trial hearing on allegations that he stabbed a 35-year-old man with a pocket knife during a road rage incident last year.
Mr. Scruggs, 38, who has been released on bond, was arrested last September and faces three felony counts of armed burglary, aggravated battery and aggravated assault.
The former prosecutor made previous court appearances since his arrest.
The Florida Highway Patrol arrested and charged Mr. Scruggs on Sept. 26 after he allegedly stabbed a fellow motorist following a crash on the Howard Frankland Bridge in Tampa.
The incident happened when a Florida couple traveling on Interstate 275 stopped to check on a driver slumped behind the wheel of a vehicle stopped on the bridge shortly before 9:24 a.m.
Instead, the slumped driver, 35, woke up and accelerated forward, crashing into the couple’s sedan. He then shifted into reverse and attempted to get around the couple’s sedan, according to troopers, only to hit Mr. Scruggs‘ sedan as he drove by.
According to police, Mr. Scruggs pulled over, walked up, broke a window and stabbed the driver with a pocketknife. The couple who had initially stopped to help then tried to lend assistance to the stabbing victim, but police said Mr. Scruggs tried to stab them before they ran.
Mr. Scruggs was detained by a St. Petersburg Police Department officer who witnessed the commotion as he drove by.

That is a picture of a pissed off man full of hate.
I’d like to know how many federal prosecutors are not psychopaths.
This is not a political question, it’s a medical one.
Guilty. Life in prison
Put him in front of a USMC Firing Squad!!
Plus 4.5 million dollars civil suit.
That prick is out on bail and not one Jan 6 era have been given bail.?
Justice for all???
Just another libtard power freak sticking it to the little guy
I have a friend here in Montana who is the DA of our largest county. He’s actually not a psychopath and started as a defense attorney. He’s also not political at all. Just does his job in a fair manner with no controversy.
Another lawyer who spits in the face of the law.
Oh, come on. That’s simply not correct about 01/6 defendants.
Hope he rots in jail.
He won’t be convicted. Bet on it.
Willing to wager he will plead guilty or be found guilty of some of the charges.
I hope you’re right. It seems that these horrid J6 prosecutors and persecutors have been given special protection by Satan.
Just the sort for the Biden DOJ. Their kind of guy to go after J6ers.
I predict “acquittal” in DC.
Or will he tried in FL, then conviction is a real possibility?
If I didn’t know better I might think he was one of us. The pissed off part anyway and the other too very often.
