      No it didn’t.

      The intended results are to show others what happens when you commit sedition against the US. Republicans making thier own disappear to avoid sentencing is not the intended result.

        Yup, house arrest and then we lose you. Oops.

        I’m not giving the legal system that much benefit of the doubt.

          This conspiracy theory doesn’t make much sense to me. If they wanted to they could have just gave him probation and sent him on his way, right? Why go through this convoluted path of charging him and convicting him, and let him go?

          Am I misunderstanding you? It feels like I’m misunderstanding you.
