Trump advisor Steve Bannon is facing two counts of contempt of Congress in his upcoming criminal trial for his refusal to appear before the January 6 Committee to testify.
Will we ever have a fair legal system where all citizens can have a staff of attorneys who will try much of the cases against us in pretrial communications and in the court of public opinion in advance? I just get so sick of this stuff day after day after day. If I was in the pokey for contempt of congress my wallet would not stretch to this level. Too much of the justice system is for sale.
I respect your opinion & frustration Max ... in my 30 years of trial practice, I came across many dedicated jurors who paid attention to admissible facts & many judges who call balls & strikes fairly. It ain't perfect.
perhaps the less than perfect part makes more noise and gets more attention. It is so hard to live with...but then extreme wealth (that permits this sort of thing) is difficult to live with
I don't recall that Susan McDougal was able to avoid going to prison pretty fast for refusing to testify about Clinton. She was incarcerated for almost 22 months. Why is it Trump and his cronies are all above the law? Enough already!
My heart is warmed when balls and strikes are called fairly. I will never agree with every decision, but when a sound argument is presented and the law on the books are followed....

Thank you Jay, spot on graphic, "Stop Hating Each Other Because You Disagree."

Thanks for the ever needed dose of sanity during this time of would be authoritarian rulers and ignorant Insurgents.
