    Yeah and if you act like a baboon then you also get contempt yet here we are - Trump has not been found in contempt. Anyone else in the entire world would be locked up for attitude alone

      They don’t have to charge contempt at the time it can be added concurrent to sentences. Doing it now could spark a riot so they’ll wait.

        Oh Bullshit if any other person acted that way they would be in jail.

        The legal system is not tied to ‘what will unrelated crazy people do’ because you know what - they’re gonna fuckin do whatever they want anyways.

        If we succumbed to that then we should’ve stopped the count when they oh so politely asked. Allowed Congress to refuse to certify. Allowed them to hang Mike Pence because shit - they’re gonna riot some more.

          Likely yes.

          Unfortunately when it effects due process it does, he deserves a fair trial just like why other asshole.
