Now for a extremely lenient sentence to prove that no one's "above the law" and then forget every other illegal thing he's done.
The judge may pleasantly surprise us. She's the reason the sweetheart plea deal they tried to cut him before blew up.
Maybe she's just a fair judge, not an anti-Biden judge.
Besides, there are some questions about the constitutionality of this.
This is literally the only reason this was allowed to happen. They will do this, and then it will allow their buddies in the media to use it to legitimize what they have done, are doing, and will continuing doing - not just to Trump - but to their political enemies.
Also, they will put off his sentencing til something like August or September, then - regardless of which way the election is allowed to go - he will be pardoned by The Big Guy shortly after the election.
I'm not sure what the realpolitik is behind bizarrely prosecuting him for something very few normal people are prosecuted for while not prosecuting him for the things he got away with just because of who he is -- in order to prove that the rule of law still exists.
No logic there.
From a totally naive perspective, I would just say it speaks to how cases are originated. There are probably a few people who have written books about drug addition describing a time period in which a record can be found of them purchasing a weapon. But I guess somebody said "go charge Little Biden with something because he's a well known violator."
Never forget also the simple angle of just attacking guns and painting guns as tools of violent crackheads.
