    The US Attorney prosecuting misdemeanors as a priority now? How much more desperate is this adminstation trying to appear?

      It’s not about the act itself, but about what it represents: resistance to the new regime. He needs to be made an example of just for that.

      It’s only a misdemeanor because the injuries sustained were only categorized as boo-boos. If they had been ouchies, we would be looking at felony charges.

      This is still the “faking it” phase of “faking it till you make it.” Their heroic victim narrative requires a criminal conviction, whatever the charge. So yes, they’re desperate, like every con artist is desperate to maintain the facade until they secure the prize.

      Yes yes, we all know a conviction won’t disprove the obvious fact that they are hysterical infants in media tantrum, but like when she was still a screeching TV head, their Fox News anchor US Attorney is performing for an audience of one.
