Is there a way for the jury to find him not guilty of these stupid charges, but go ahead and put Bolton in prison anyway, because he's such an asshole?

Came here to say this... Bolton is a piece of shit, but not for this...
When people comment on Lemmy posts with masto, does the client automatically throw an @ user tag?
They’re not needed on Lemmy. We just see the replies in our inbox. We don’t need to be mentioned in the reply. That’s like knocking on the door and ringing the doorbell at the same time.
I'm not 100% sure these charges are illegitimate. Probably are, but I'm less surprised they got a grand jury to indict on this compared to James Comey.
Mind you, the charges here are basically the exact same ones that Trump was on trial for in keeping boxes of classified data in his bathroom.
*Trump’s former National Security Advisor
He should be in jail but prob not for whatever they’re charging him with
Edit: just read the charges. If they have evidence he should be in jail for this stupid shit too. Also Trump and Hillary Clinton and maybe Joe Biden
Any rich person at all would be nice. Bonus points for being a rich politician.
Don't forget GWB, Rice, and most of that cabinet...
Meh
Conflicted.
Bolton is an absolute cunt who deserves to be in prison.
But not as part of some sort vendetta from an unhinged lunatic using the DOJ as a personal attack dog
Change it to "Trump Nemesis Indicted" then you can just copy and paste moving forward. /s
TRUMP SHOULD BE ARRESTED
