Oh an actual plot to kidnap a governor is not a big deal but the rest of us have a syndrome cause we think Trump is fucked up.

    They know what they’re doing

    They want a loyal force of thugs who don’t care about the law

    Of course, they will be cast aside when they aren’t useful, but said thugs are happy at the thought of being allowed to hurt people

      They were convicted of conspiracy in federal court in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 2022. […] They are being held at a prison in Colorado

      The state would have to charge them with something the Feds didn’t already charge them with (due to double indemnity laws), then issue warrants for their arrest, and hope they get arrested or turn themselves in. One of them doesn’t live in Michigan. I can’t imagine the other would move back. They could be extradited by another state, but then they have to be retried.

      Still better than nothing, at least if they do get a bullshit pardon, they would maybe always have the specter of criminal charges hanging over them, and would fail any comprehensive background check. But they wouldn’t be in a cell in the interim.

    “In my opinion these are victims just like January 6,” Martin said.

    The law only binds the enemies of the administration.
