Jensen's lawyer and the prosecutor both sounded optimistic about reaching an agreement (lots of talk of "resolution" and "disposition&quot , but the govt is still turning over evidence, so they jointly asked the judge to continue to suspend deadlines

1. Any settlements should include a felony conviction

So none of these yahoos can legally own a firearm.

2. +1000

9. As a bare minimum. They all should be

put on the 'no fly list' and pay hefty fines as well.

3. He'd better be providing dirt on Congressperps or Trump cronies.

4. Conviction, and some jail time.

These fuckers are captured terrorists.

5. Sorry, no deals

We don't negotiate with terrorists.

[Thunderbeast]

6. I think there will be many plea deals.

In this toxic political environment, tribalism is likely to infect juries, making unanimous verdicts VERY difficult.

Prosecutors will likely make deals in order to not risk a parade of hung juries contaminated by biased MAGATS.

7. Restitution's gonna be a bitch spread over those three hundred indicted individuals

[bullwinkle428]

8. Plea deals better be more substantial than, "I think they learned their lesson!"

[Vinca]

10. Deals should only be given to criminals who have something to offer in return.

Emails between your group and Junior? We'll talk. Emails to your mom expressing your profound remorse? No talk.

[BlueStater]

11. If he doesn't serve at least some prison time, the deal is unacceptable. n/t

[Progressive Jones]

12. NO! No deals for any of those scumbags.

I find it a show of weakness that there aren't executions over this.
