“You’re sending a man to prison who thought he was complying with the law, we don’t do that in my system,” Schoen said, calling the decision “contrary to our system of justice.”
“I think you should sit down,” Nichols responded.
How can a lawyer think ignorance of the law is a valid excuse?
The judge is a trump appointee tho, and I feel like that's what the lawyer wanted to tell about. They assumed the judge would just come up with a bullshit reason Bannon doesn't have to go to jail.
cant blame them, cannon is clearly on board their pretend-law train
Cannon seems bad at her job. Not even just the blatant helping of trump, but she seems to not understand how to be a judge for other stuff.
Because she's supremely unqualified.
How can a lawyer think ignorance of the law is a valid excuse?
They've been making the same excuse about Trump's hush money trial.
These lawyers are trying to speak to the public through the court. It's an irresponsible use of the court.
It worked for Junior when he tried to collude with Russia.
Perhaps he thought he was defending a cop.
Second (or third, depending on how you look at it) Riker of the day!
Hope the pruno is enough for you to avoid the DTs, Steve.
pruno
Well that's a new one for me, and I would just like to add... Gross.
Which makes it very Bannon appropriate.
If you think that's bad, nutraloaf is worse. And it's supposed to be a punishment. At least pruno is self-inflicted.
I hope Steve Bannon receives the exact same treatment Republicans think other guilty prisoners deserve.
is it customary to give people a month to present voluntarily go to jail?
