How this played out could be an episode of a sitcom TV show. Maybe Roseanne.

This is what happened when one mistook Cheeto as Jesus.

True story:

We lived in Brantford and would take our daughters down to Simcoe to see the xmas displays. One year we went with friends of ours, who were Catholic, who had 2 daughters the same ages as our 2. Our eldest was only 4 or 5, can't remember. Well when we got down there and started walking around, our daughter kept saying that she wanted to see Jesus(we are not religious, at all). She kept on and on about it. People around heard, and from the smiles on their faces, they all thought it was lovely that this little girl wanted to see the saviour. We kept going around and finally to shut her up we went over to the nativity display. She was not impressed. When the friends daughter said Jesus, our daughter heard Cheezies and was really looking forward to that as a snack.

So much gullibility.

“One defense attorney handling some US Capitol Insurrection cases tells me there'll be a complication for plea agreement negotiations.... he says *some* defendants think Trump is going to swoop in and save them.”

In her decision to keep defendant Cleveland Meredith Jr. in jail, Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the DC District Court wrote:

The steady drumbeat that inspired defendant to take up arms has not faded away; six months later, the canard that the election was stolen is being repeated daily on major news outlets and from the corridors of power in state and federal government, not to mention in the near-daily fulminations of the former President,

Given that there are hundreds of defendants in this situation, I suspect that the first few cases will influence those that follow. That is, if some defendants choose to avoid plea deals and instead go to trial, things may not go well for them. Legal fees and jail time incurred by these first defendants will serve as a template for those remaining. Further, when it becomes obvious that Trump et al have utterly abandoned all of them, there will be a rush to make plea agreements heavily favouring the prosecution.
