He should be allowed to just get away with it to stop him becoming a martyr? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] agitatedpotato@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) I don't agree with the guy who posted that but I kind of think the US government does. I think Trumps gonna get a sweetheart plea deal because theyre either afraid of his supporters or one of his supporters. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 3 years ago (1 child) Don't they have to negotiate the plea deal with Smith? Because I don't think he'd play ball on that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago That and you don't offer a plea deal on a slam dunk case.
