A huge win for the FBI today, as two mentally challenged hobos are convicted for conspiring with a dozen FBI agents to kidnap a governor and kick-off a "boogaloo" (archive.ph)

It only took crazy-sauce court rulings like "Defense can only cross-examine for as long as the prosecution's direct examination took" to do it, too.

That sounds like grounds for an appeal.

That sounds like grounds for an appeal.

"And you're ugly, too!" - Another judge, probably.

Hell that sounds like fucking school-yard legal.

Exactly. I don't get why the prosecutors are giving out their triumphant statements. The first trial was a mistrial, and this one is practically guaranteed to be granted an appeal.

The judge even had to give instructions to the jury not to take his blatant unfavorable treatment of the defense team into account during deliberations.

This is far from over.

Sounds like abuse of discretion

Til scope means you can only talk as long as the prosecution and not staying within the subject matter brought up by the initial examination

social media and libtard groupthink through media propaganda have broken the jury system.

100%. If you get a leftist on your jury, they will refuse to convict/acquit on purely partisan political grounds. This is usually enough to hang the jury, which allows the leftist states redo the trial until the desired outcome is achieved.

They probably didn't even know where they were going. They said multiple times they weren't interested. They got in a car with some feds, were driven to buy explosives, with money they didn't even have...from another fed. It's utterly ridiculous.

Fuck the FBI. Fuck the courts. Fuck Whitmer.

The convictions come after an earlier case against the two men ended in a mistrial when jurors were unable to agree on a verdict.

... can somebody explain how that isn't double jeopardy, or is one of the more "interesting" facets of this case that the FBI gets to bring you to court as many times as it takes for them to get something to justify their expenditure on this entrapment case?

Fair enough, thanks for clarifying.
