    hung

    He’s definitely not that.

    But in all seroiusness… Are you purposefully missing the point? This is how the justice system works, you don’t get accused of aiding the enemy and then instantly hanged. That’s not how it works. We already execute innocent people all of the time in spite of a robust appeals system.

    I understand that this is a pretty cut and dry case, but that doesn’t mean we get to just completely bypass the rule of law and hang suspected traitors. They still need to follow the law, and that means sentencing after a guilty verdict. He has not been sentenced yet (nor was he convicted of treason).

    Shit moves slow, and yes there are people in this case that have been dragging their feet (such as Trump appointee Aileen Cannon), but that doesn’t mean we just skip a few steps and execute people.
