Eeeee WooooAs hundreds of thousands of federal employees and members of the military know… if we deliberately took home a single one of the documents listed in the Trump indictment… we would take the plea and do 20 years. The law is clear. If we showed it to people, we’d do life. We ALL know that. Why the hell isn’t Trump in prison right now?
Orc@EeeeWooo They need to convict him before they can do that.
@orc who told you that? Cuz that’s just not true.
@orc yikes. This is the kind of reply people used to do on Twitter to try to distract from the actual point. Why are you bothering? It’s a meaningless argument. He should be locked up.
Anyway here you go: “Federal detainees are generally housed in a Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) detention facility pending the outcome of the criminal case. In some, but rare instances, federal detainees can be held at local county jails pending trial and sentencing.” (The jail ->prison thing isn’t federal.)
@EeeeWooo I guess I'm looking at it as more than detaining someone as opposed to punishing someone. You'd detain someone so you can try them, punish them afterwards, but if you believe they will voluntarily show up at the court the pre-trial detention isn't necessary.
The short-fingered vulgarian is a stupid -- and very vain -- man. All indications are that he'll show up at the courthouse so he can emerge victorious against the deep state(tm) so what reason, aside from revenge, is there to lock him up when he can remain free and further incriminate himself before plopping down at the courthouse?
(Edit: duh, I'm an idiot. You'd also jail someone if they're a continuing threat. You are completely correct and I am wrong.)
@orc actually you’re marvelous and I’m glad we connected.
