If you had said…first I think they should have thrown the book at him but I do find this little tidbit interesting. But instead you went and found someone to blame. A MAGA Trumper no less.
I didn’t make excuses—I never got that far. I just showed up here. You asked me a question and I gave you answer. I reported a weird detail, heretofore unmentioned in the thread for some reason, that the DA who consciously chose to undercharge the guy is also coincidentally a member of Zeldin’s campaign, an election denier, and a Republican. Her judgement may be right or wrong. But it seemed odd, given how the discussion has preceded (at least from what I’ve read so far). Now, the US Attorneys are charging him. Somehow, this chain of events reveals hypocrisy.
If I was conspiratorial… it would almost seem that the DA working for the Zeldin campaign undercharged this to a non bail eligible offense so as to have a talking point on the campaign trail.
Chances are Garland would be hearing of the incident for the first time or “has no knowledge” of the attempted assault on a sitting Us Congressman if one were to ask him.
