But Trump's lawyer got a three year sentence
yeah but ... doesn't mean they would get the same sentences. More an indicator, in my humble legally uneducated opinion, that there will be convictions of at least some of the instances, and if convicted of one charge with several instances, then consolidation would be appropriate. Fines and probation or suspension as you suggest seems in the future of this case .... if convicted.
documents ... obstruction
yep ... I want to hear John Solomon and Kash Patel testify ... are they delusional or just political thugs
Jack Smith's... insurrection and fake elector scheme.... a whole bunch of politicians disqualified from holding office.
All but one politician as far as I know who was charged with participation in an insurrection at the state levels for disqualification, were acquitted. There were two ways this happened. First Republican judges ruled against plaintiffs and second, defendants couldn't remember anything. Remember Rep Greene and her smirky smile, saying she couldn't remember saying anything or remembering anything that happened. I don't hold much hope for disqualification for most.
However, if any of them actively participated in the conspiracy, such as Rep Scott and not those who just encouraged it, then I believe they may be in the sights of the special counsels investigation.
The one you didn't mention was the GA case. Trump on 3 recorded calls suborned elected politicians to break the law by finding non-existent votes. We know they were non-existent because Trump was told by GA officials the counts were correct, and he was told by his own people there was no fraud. GA has state laws for precisely this conduct.
Appears the only defense Republicans will use is election interference. I like it because now anyone with impunity, who has committed crimes, can claim they are running for office and make the same claim of election interference and therefore be outside the purview of law enforcement.
