A big deal
One of Donald Trump’s 18 co-defendants in the Georgia racketeering case has plead guilty and made a deal with prosecutors that will involve testifying against his co-defendants. Scott Hall, a bail bondsman, is the first person charged along with Trump in Georgia to flip and cop a plea. He will receive five years of probation, pay a $5,000 fine, perform 200 hours of community service, and will be banned from carrying a firearm and performing any duties related to the administration of elections in Georgia.
Many of the Georgia defendants know and talk to each other. Oh, those dominos when they begin to fall!
Lucian, here is what bothers the crap out of me about our system. Hall gets probation after attempting to overthrow our democracy, a fine and community service. A woman who served her prison sentence, got out, thought she has paid her penalty and voted in an election. Our system gave her five years in prison. WTF? Many US states allow felons who fulfilled their punishment to vote. This woman gets five years for casting her vote while Hall gets probation for attempting to destroy our nation. Sigh.
Thank you for looking out for us all. The column on Trump gun sale was one of the most shocking things I have ever read. Lucian, I read your columns to my family. We all feel privileged that you care for we overwhelmingly voiceless Americans. Voiceless until Election Day, that is!
