" In a letter to the court Friday, prosecutors said Kolfage’s reaction on social media to the charges has in many cases “been highly inflammatory” and risked tainting the pool of potential jurors."

Spare us.

“I’ll volunteer to be on the jury! I haven’t seen one thing Kolfage has posted, and I don’t give two shits about him!!”

You might want to read the whole article. Prosecutors are clearly planning to ask for a muzzle on him if he doesn’t stop writing stuff like that.

Just like happened with Roger Stone.

“I’ve obtained one the best super lawyers around who isnt afffraid [sic] to fight back,”

Kolfage: … “I’ve obtained one the best super lawyers around who isnt afffraid [sic] to fight back … “This is where the line of freedom is drawn, pick a side…”

If his victims were self-respecting, I’d suggest we defer to their freedom by turning him over to them.
In the interests of justice served, I’ll sponsor a Go-Fund-Me appeal for help with the tar and feathers.

This guy is a chiseler but he runs with the right crowd anyway, by which I mean a crowd of scoundrels for whom patriotism is the last refuge.

Sooo… the Federal prosecutors are looking for excuses to let him go? Not even waiting from Trump pardon?

In a way the man should not have been charged, I doubt any of the donors feel really defrauded.

Bingo. Same MO, probably the same result. Although I’m good with Roger still being a convicted felon.

Count me as shocked. So the wall is not about the security and well being of the nation, it’s the bigotry.
