You have to admit he was an idiot to plead guilty. Why would you if you don’t think you are? I bet trump won’t do what this jerk did and plead guilty.

Doubling down on stupid.

Eight other posters on this thread trashed your initial post - because they know that if you defy the feds, the feds go for the MAXIMUM sentence, as an example for all the other peasants.

Since their conviction rate is in the mid-90s [even outside the DC Swamp], pleading not guilty is a fool's errand, unless you're a billionaire with lots of lawyers.

Trump has billions of reasons to plead not guilty.

This fellow didn’t.

The guy that picked up the podium which i think he might have been a bad actor. He had people pay for his defense it cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars and he spent about 18 months in prison.

The 20 year sentence for interrupting is ridiculous but that is what they set.
""improper purpose" means cause unnecessary delay" No more then 20 years.
Am I mistaken but they could charge anyone in congress with that?
