The Reign of Trump

[bobalot]

The Judicial system in America has become a joke.

Why were they even charged in the first place?

First, this implies the Judicial System in the United States was not a joke before this.
It's been a joke for alot longer then Trump being famous, let alone in office. Or rather, it's had laughable issues long before this anyway.

Now, as to why they were charged.
With Conspiracy?
They shouldn't have been. At all. Unless something hasn't been revealed to the public, there is no evidence to back a conspiracy charge. Conspiracy implies premeditation and co-ordination. A grand jury refused that twice before it was accepted.

The other charges, are actually rather common against protestors. Moderate chance of success.

The only reason for the conspiracy charge is that the six people in question were unmasked at the protest, and could be identified, and someone decided to target them because of that.

Media organisations, political opponents, companies, people who have sued him, etc. all being targetted by an obviously compromised legal system.

Those "don't tread on me" and 2nd Amendment circlejerkers who were preparing to fight an oppressive government are all MIA or even worse, the foot soldiers of a fascist movement.
