No prob, it's a federal charge again, can be handled same way as before.
Dump will only do so if he thinks it will benefit him, which he may not
He’s not dangerous and it was right of Trump to pardon him. /s
If trying to incite civil war were a crime, then shouldn’t every member of the GOP be in prison?
created a “kill list” of FBI agents
Ah, there it is.
Only the best people. For him to recruit to his Gestapo.
Is it Trump?! 😱🤩🫡 C'mon c'mon c'mon!
Fuck, I hope it's—
~goddammit.~
Feels like we could have saved our perpetually-strained justice system a lot of ass-ache by just... Sentencing these motherfuckers properly the first time.
And their ringleader
life sentence for plotting to attack FBI agents and seeking to incite a “civil war,” according to prosecutors.
???
Usually a sentence is not according to a prosecutor, but a court decision by a judge.
So which is it?
According to prosecutors is describing "...for plotting to attack FBI agents and seeking to incite a "civil war,"" not the sentencing.
I'm not sure what your point is? You state according to the prosecutor, when I just stated that a sentence is not normally according to a prosecutor, but an actual court decision!
The headline clearly indicates that he actually got life in prison, as he was sentenced by the court. But completely fails to mention the actual judgement by the court?
The prosecutor is not responsible for announcing sentencing, but the prosecutor is the only source stated.
Repeating what the prosecutor stated once again does not help.
My point is that the part about the prosecutor only applies to the last part of the sentence. It's the newspaper doing an "allegedly" thing. He was sentenced to life for these crimes that the prosecutor says he did. That way if it turns out he didn't actually do it and later goes free, the newspaper will be less likely to get sued for libel.
The article later goes on to talk about how he was convicted by a jury and sentenced to life by a judge.

Sorry, I skimmed the article earlier and missed that, but now I see it.
Surely the prosecutor was there though, right?
They can also recommend a sentence, which is very problematic since the judge often uses it as a baseline. Especially since they're also the one negotiating for plea deals
