    I fear he will be found guilty by a jury of mouth breathers. But probably be next year before we get a verdict. And probably get life in prison, and we can force the next Dem president (if we every get one again) to commute his sentence.

      I highly doubt a dem president would commute his sentence if he’s found guilty, for one thing, anyone with the resources to mount a successful presidential campaign, dem or otherwise, is almost certainly going to be wealthy enough to personally sympathize more with CEOs than with people that cant get healthcare. Consider how panicked some of the CEOs and their ilk supposedly got right after the shooting, and consider that thats exactly the kind of person that a dem president, or at the very least their friends and associates, would likely be.

        Yeah also I feel like everyone is forgetting how ask the Dem politicians came out and unequivocally condemned him. Why would any Dem administration be on the right side of this issue? The only difference is that they might support life in prison over the death penalty.

      Every jury I’ve been on has been full of really disappointing people. But I’ve only been on two, so it’s a small sample size.
