“The issue, now before Cannon in the Southern District of Florida federal court, is likely to remain in the political debate at least until Cannon holds a hearing on the legal power of the special counsel to prosecute a defendant, on June 21.”

    Man, the New York charges get me every time 34 state felonies while a literal insurrection attempt gets 4 federal. I already knew NY as a whole didn’t like Trump but it’s glorious to see how much they must hate him

    (I know Florida has more, but I’m not holding my breath because it’s florida.)

      To be honest, I don’t think it’s about quantity, but more about quality.

      I’d rather Trump have one, one single charge of insurrection that leads him to life in prison (or 20 years or whatever, which would pretty much be life for him), than 50 that lead to nothing.
