webfact Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 British man pleads guilty in Trump attack case LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Latest on criminal charges in a U.S. court against a British man stemming from an incident in which he grabbed a police officer's gun with a plan to shoot Donald Trump in Las Vegas. A British man has pleaded guilty to federal charges stemming from an incident in which he grabbed a police officer's gun with a plan to shoot Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Las Vegas. Michael Steven Sandford could face about two years in a U.S. prison and be deported for his pleas Tuesday to being an illegal alien in possession of a firearm and disrupting an official function. The 20-year-old Sandford could have faced up to 20 years in prison if he'd been convicted at trial of both charges. Court documents say Sandford acknowledged reaching for the gun while Trump was on stage June 18 at a Las Vegas Strip hotel-casino. Sandford didn't get the gun before he was arrested, and no shots were fired. The documents say Sandford later told a federal agent that he drove from California to Las Vegas with a plan to kill Trump. Family attorney Saimo Chahal says Sandford was delusional at the time. -- © Associated Press 2016-09-14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustdevil Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 The last thing we need is to make Trump a martyr. Sarah Palin would get elected. Her first bill submitted to congress would allow the extermination of all wildlife from helicopters with military-grade assault rifles. Yahoo.

ToS2014 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I just love it when Brits enter into the American political conversation and seemingly know all the wrongs about it.

Linzz Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 No he shouldn't have. It's political interference But not anywhere near the scale of a President of the USA doing the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe he prefaced his comments with, "It's a matter for the British voters to decide", and then gave his long and winding opinion. At least in the clip I watched on Youtube a few moments ago.
