Yeah he knew he was fucked, he was just trying to make sure he was memorable enough that Dump would be sure to pardon him if he won a second term, which this guy is really really counting on.
Hard to tell, if you're dumb enough to talk for Trump's lies about the election, you are also be dumb enough to berate a judge.
Also could be that if you are dumb enough to believe that this will get trumps attention and he won't think solely about himself, you are also dumb enough to berate a judge. So it's kind of a catch 22.
This is all conjecture:
It serves Trump for his j6 insurrectionists and their families to believe he'll pardon them all. His supporters (j6 and other extremists) serve Trump by continually reassuring each other that the pardons will definitely happen day 1.
Trump supporters are surely telling each other that they have it from 'reliable sources' (their imaginations) that Trump will pardon everyone that's faithful. The day of forgiveness is near and all they have to do is have faith and do good works (spread the faith, give money) and their redemption shall come.
Bro you made it really sound like those Jeovah's witnesses waiting for the kingdom of god to float down, that's crazy.
