Waitaminute, are you suggesting that, should Trump be found guilty of everything he’s charged with, his punishment should be a few weeks in jail without internet access because he’d consider that a big deal? That’s fucking absurd.
Do you not understand that driving force behind the absurd length of time is Trump himself? He’s the one creating the delays. He shouldn’t be rewarded for that. In fact, I think one could reasonably argue that he should receive a harsher punishment for wasting government time and what must be in the millions of dollars, on bullshit delays that serve no purpose whatsoever than to delay things.
So, if I rob a bank, should I just get a weekend in jail if I get caught before I spend the money?
I feel like your hangup is that people are charged with the espionage act without actually doing anything that you consider espionage. If the section of the act that Trump is being charged with was it’s own thing called ‘stealing government documents’ would that change anything for you?
