Yeah and if you act like a baboon then you also get contempt yet here we are - Trump has not been found in contempt. Anyone else in the entire world would be locked up for attitude alone
Oh Bullshit if any other person acted that way they would be in jail.
The legal system is not tied to ‘what will unrelated crazy people do’ because you know what - they’re gonna fuckin do whatever they want anyways.
If we succumbed to that then we should’ve stopped the count when they oh so politely asked. Allowed Congress to refuse to certify. Allowed them to hang Mike Pence because shit - they’re gonna riot some more.
In criminal cases, the charges must be proven true beyond any reasonable doubt; probably == innocent. In civil cases, the bar is only more likely than not; probably == guilty.
In civil cases, “the Fifth Amendment does not forbid adverse inferences against parties to civil actions when they refuse to testify in response to probative evidence offered against them.” (Baxter v. Palmigiano (1976) 425 U.S. 308, 318.)
“I don’t recall”
aka
“I definitely recall but this canned phrase is basically a get out of jail free card in America”
Only if you’re rich.

In civil trials out didn’t work like that. If they can at all prove you knew or should have known the answer you can catch contempt.

They don’t have to charge contempt at the time it can be added concurrent to sentences. Doing it now could spark a riot so they’ll wait.

Likely yes.
Unfortunately when it effects due process it does, he deserves a fair trial just like why other asshole.

Yes, that doesn’t at all change what I’ve said.
