        No it didn’t.

        The intended results are to show others what happens when you commit sedition against the US. Republicans making thier own disappear to avoid sentencing is not the intended result.

          Yup, house arrest and then we lose you. Oops.

          Republicans making thier own disappear to avoid sentencing is not the intended result.

          I’m not giving the legal system that much benefit of the doubt.

            This conspiracy theory doesn’t make much sense to me. If they wanted to they could have just gave him probation and sent him on his way, right? Why go through this convoluted path of charging him and convicting him, and let him go?

            Am I misunderstanding you? It feels like I’m misunderstanding you.

              I think the disappearing part wasn’t a part of the plan but I could see them putting the dude on house arrest and no one followed up. That way, he was arrested and everyone thought it was handled but in reality, the dude gets off light. I’m pretty sure the people who agreed to all this didn’t want any of this to get out by him escaping.

                … but he still has a sentencing hearing. It’s right in the title. This conspiracy theory doesn’t hold up at all.
