    So the threat of political violence has tangible results on the rules of justice? You know that only encourages more political violence right? It’s “Might makes right” with like one extra step. No one willing to die for Trump is going to care if he goes to jail now or next year they will do what they will do. But changing procedure because of them means their threats are working, which means the US Justice System, is not.

      And you think there’s ever been a time where it wasn’t the case?

      Threaten the judge presiding a case and their family and you’ll never get an impartial ruling.

      Bring someone like Trump to court and you better make sure you take everything slow and make sure no one can question any of your decisions, not even his supporters.
