    Clearly Trump is trying to make an example of him. A jury trial for a single misdemeanor? Either way, there’s good odds he’ll be financially ruined by the lawyer bill. A trial is a minimum of $15k to start.

    This will become an exemplar for We The People to self police going forward.

      If he hasn’t crowd funded his legal expenses it’s because he’s actively choosing not to. He could be grifting this so hard.

      A jury trial for a single misdemeanor?

      That’s your right. The defendant can choose whether to have a jury or bench trial.

      Clearly in this case you want the jury. You want them to look at the ridiculousness of the case and throw it the fuck out regardless of the legality.
