That and the judge is probably terrified of having his house firebombed.
This is exactly why Judges have been so lenient on him. None of them want to go from country clubbing to having firsthand knowledge of the witness protection program.
I disagree with that. The judges need to be a bit lenient with him so nobody can say that the judge was biased against him. This was sort of frustrating to those of us who saw the judge as being too nice to Trump, but its now a lot harder to say he was gunning to get him convicted.
Idk Trump was literally attacking this judge's daughter.
Any other person would've been held in contempt.
Yeah, so the fact that he wasn't proves my point. The Judge wasn't showing signs of wanting to get Trump convicted. Compare that to if Trump is required to be in jail throughout the trail, because he was held in contempt. The right would be saying the judge, and this same verdict, were corrupt. That's what they're saying, now but there's less evidence for them to use.
Even a mere 6 months would be enough.
Its about convincing people still on the fence with Trump. The most vocal are saying that the jury was a sham. The ones in the middle are less vocal. By not giving vocal Republicans any ammo, it helps make a convincing case to those Republican voters that weren't hardline republicans/MAGAs. They're the ones we need along with the voters that switch from the 2016 to 2020 elections.
Don’t know about that, judging by the show Delocated, the witness protection program looks fun. Your own skins bar!
