President-elect Donald Trump was handed an unconditional discharge sentence after he was convicted of falsifying business records to coverup a past affair with an adult film star, and many critics are crying foul.

The judge didn't want to get drone stiked, I don't blame him. Still might though

Lol more like "heart attack" (aka: poisoning)

Or maybe out of a window, depending how "putin-style" they want to make it.

Are there any cases of the US poisoning people in assassinations? Im actually curious about that. Nothing comes to mind. Missiles are more thier style.

All cases of drone strikes I know are outside of the US. I don't know what types of assassinations they do in the US.

The CIA supposedly had a "heart attack gun" that would poison you and the official cause would be a heart attack. I don't think there has been a case that were later revealed to be a poisoning.

And they could also crash your car and make it look like an accident. Like this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Hastings_(journalist)#Controversy_over_alleged_foul_play

In shooty bang bang freedom land? It's the same kind we give to kindergartners. Just ask MLKJr or JFK or RFK or...

Wtf, don't make excuses for the fucker. This isn't North Korea, he wasn't afraid he's just a shill.

I do. If you can't do your job, recuse yourself.
