I feel like immediately showing that you lied to the judge should allow for revising your sentence.
ETA: It amuses me to think about this chud feeling like a badass with his act of defiance in the court room. Later, he has the "oh shit," realization when he arrives at his cell.
Dude is resting easy thinking that he'll be pardoned on Jan 21, 2025. That's the only reality that has any hope for him.
Lol you think Trump is going to remember these people?
Definitely not. He only remembers people who have some sort of leverage on him, like Roger Stone and Michael Flynn.
Trump doesn't even remember people he actually worked with.
If Trump wins, pardoning these people will be his first order of business. That signals to his supporters that he wants them to do it again but in greater numbers to keep him in power indefinitely.
I mean, it would make sense, but his actions so far really don't lead to this conclusion
