Sounds almost like he thought the FBI guys would be sympathetic / on his side.

u/trueslicky Jan 24 '23

I wonder why he would've thought that?

Because dumb

What an arrogant POS.

How are we not talking about him bringing a cane with a built in stun baton?

Like, is he the fucking riddler?

u/Sprout59 Jan 23 '23

Yes and he took mail and posted it on his social media site! Thought that was a fedral offense also. Pile it on.

I would have assumed you were joking if you didn't have a link to back it up.

u/zeidoktor Jan 23 '23

Exactly why I included it. (I'd heard about it and made a point of looking it up to make sure I wasn't misremembering or taking a joke post somewhere seriously)

He's the one that told the FBI you won't find my weapons cause I'm smart right? I swear that was him.

u/TheGeneGeena Jan 23 '23

That was him.

They all look so confident and proud of themselves, can't wait to check back in with him in 12 months and see his face.

More like this I suspect...

Given his age, he’s going to get a life sentence. Never to walk free again.

If anything, they will go easy on him due his age...probably claim is he is suffering from Alzheimer's, or the like.

If I was his lawyer, that would be my strategy.

He was cocky because he thought he was only a few hours away from a presidential pardon. Possibly even an medal from Cheeto himself.

Oopsie doodles.
