Story by David Edwards 3h
Republican National Committee lawyer Christina Bobb, a former conservative news anchor and attorney for Donald Trump, said she expected to spend the rest of her life in prison if she is found guilty of trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Arizona.
During a Monday interview on Real America's Voice, host Steve Bannon asked Bobb what her punishment could be if she is found guilty on nine counts of trying to organize fake electors to hand the election to Trump.
"The nine felonies are how many years in prison?" Bannon wondered.
"I don't know how many for those nine felonies. Yeah, several decades or 50 years in prison," Bobb replied. "Yeah, I assume it would be the rest of my life in prison."
.................
...................Bobb was among 18 people charged in the Arizona fake elector scheme. Trump confidantes Rudy Giuliani and Boris Epshteyn were also charged.

Bobb noted that she had served in the Marine Corps.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Too late to whine and squirm her way out of it.

My guess is the max sentence is 20 years, and the reality is she would maybe serve 8, 10 years tops.

Well, Dear, ignorance is no excuse. Plus, it kinda looks like you were trying to overturn my country's government. So, stick it (time to turn prosecution witness, if you can't think of that on your own.)

(6,904 posts)"How the hell could these people do what they did and not realize they were betraying the ideals the nation's historic heroes fought and died for?"
Then an answer of sorts echoes in reply. Until the twentieth century, the US was a pretty much isolationist little backwater on the global stage. The two "so called" world wars found us, thankfully, an ocean away from the disruption of actual ground combat. Our whole "war" experience gave us a false sense of immunity from the bone deep horror and dread of mindless shells and bombs falling onto our homes and pastures as foreign troops maraud our neighborhoods. But we had "won" because our belief system and our society were "more just" than the others. This brings us to the epic myth of American exceptionalism, meaning, we can do literally anything to and on Earth.
After long decades of subsequent international "righteous" bullying, the infotainment media calling even the most shameful actors, "heroes", the national fashionable predilection became one of confidence and invincibility. This illusion was most consistently upheld as the only reasonable explanation by the neo-conservative party as it took over the Republicans. The marginally civilized among us, importantly including professional military personnel, have taken this blatant misinterpretation of contemporary events as a license to do whatever the hell they "feel is best".
Bottom line, they don't teach civics like they should anymore and "only minority people do actual, punishable crimes*".
* Whereas I believe disregarding low info civics is a major Department of Education misstep, the latter part of the sentence is purely because way too many stupid bastards believe racial prejudice is fact based and I like putting them down whenever I get the chance.
