The only reason this is useless gesture is happening is to appease the President and some of "base".
Sadly, there is a lot of truth in your comment.
I agree the chances of conviction are zero. I believe James Comey could shoot a conservative in the face and not be convicted. All law now is political. There is no law. If Cole Allen had succeeded in murdering the President, it would be 50/50 for a conviction. There’s a good chance one or two DC jurors would simply nullify, thereby hanging the jury.
This is a political indictment. Good! It should be brought. It demonstrates these bastards are inciting violence against are side, as we all know they are. Splash it all over the media. The DOJ, I believe, has said they have other evidence besides the shells themselves. Good! Bring it out, show these lying murderous bastards for what they are. The only question which matters is not whether 12 people vote to convict. It’s whether or not these charges help us politically. I think they will.
I knew we could count on you to Pearl Clutch for the left.
