Why wasn’t he tried in Florida?
Oh wait, a Florida jury wouldn’t have convicted him. Better to stack the deck so he learns that he doesn’t stand a chance.
Yes, supporters of President Trump can be mad that Powell and Chesebro took pleas. But, going to trial costs money. Sometimes a lot of it. And the defendant has to pay their lawyer(s). Prosecution gets paid whether they’re in a courtroom or sitting in their office scrolling Instagram.
So, if you don’t have deep enough pockets to afford the BEST lawyers, you’re kind of screwed unless you have evidence that law enforcement/prosecutors really screwed up. And even that won’t matter sometimes, sadly. Liberal juries ignore anything and everything if it doesn’t line up with their agendas.
And the Fed’s are the worst. They have the most ridiculous prison times attached to crimes. So they force folks to take pleas.
Where are the Sekulow’s and their ACLJ?
