It seems that some of the morons(R) who get their ‘news’ from FOX and other rightwingnut sources are running into hard reality

These brainiacs who swallowed Dotard’s Big Lie, rioted at his insurrection and swallowed more crap about not needing a lawyer are finding out it’s all a bunch a bullshit. Starting g with the Big Lie and their bloody riot. 

CAPITOL RIOT

Some defendants forgoing lawyers 

By Michael Kunzelman and Alanna Durkin Richer The Associated Press

Some of the defendants charged in the storming of the U.S. Capitol are turning away defense lawyers and electing to represent themselves, undeterred by their lack of legal training or repeated warnings from judges.

That choice already has led to some curious legal maneuvers and awkward exchanges in court.

Bauer was arrested in May along with a friend who joined her at the Capitol. Video from a police officer’s body camera captured Bauer saying to bring out House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to be hanged, the FBI says.

Bauer, who owns a restaurant in rural Kane, Pa., has repeatedly interrupted the judge during hearings. She also has argued in vain that the court doesn’t have any jurisdiction over her, expressing an ideology that appears to comport with the “sovereign citizens” extremist movement.

During a July 19 hearing, Bauer told McFadden that she doesn’t want “any lawyering from the bench.” When the judge denied her request to dismiss her charges, she asked, “On what terms?”

“You don’t get to demand terms from me,” replied McFadden.

At least the morons(R) involved will get a long time to re-think their ‘news’ sources and legal strategies as they sit in prison, sometimes for years for swallowing the entire Trump/FOX(R) line of bullshit. It’s called ‘justice’.
