    The judge said he hoped the punishment would deter those dissatisfied by future election outcomes, showing that there is an “unambiguous and serious line” that cannot be crossed when contacting public officials.

    I think this is a horrible argument. The dude should be punished under the law for the crimes HE has committed. Other people shouldn’t play a role in the judgement, as reprehensible as his actions were.

    Other than that, very good read, but as always, it won’t reach the people that really should read it.

    Does anybody know whether they’re planning to use all these convictions against trump supporters in the trial against trump? I bet there are a lot of testimonies stating that they wouldn’t have done xyz if Trump hadn’t riled them up.
