    I’ve seen lots of speculation that Trumbo is trying to get himself thrown in jail for the publicity of it all. It would result in a huge fundraising boost and conservative outrage, even if just for a short while, and no one wants to give him the satisfaction.

      Call his fucking bluff.

      In jail, no phone, no internet, no interviews. The only way he’d get to talk to the public is though his lawyer, who is accountable to tell the truth when discussing details of the case.

      Unsure that would happen… Lots of undecided out there who care about the rule of law and have said in polls if he was convicted they would not vote for him. I think it’s delusion and wishful thinking on his part
