Sean "Diddy" Combs on Thursday formally rejected the government's offer to plead guilty and spare himself the possibility of a prolonged prison sentence.

"Yes I do, your honor," Combs said after Judge Arun Subramanian asked him whether he rejected the offer federal prosecutors made.

Combs is scheduled to stand trial beginning Monday with jury selection on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and prostitution that allege he coerced women into prolonged sexual encounters he called "freak-offs."

Maurene Comey, an assistant United States attorney, said a guilty plea would have reduced the amount of prison time Combs would be exposed to compared to a trial conviction on all counts, which could result in what is effectively a life sentence.

4. A Full Presidential Pardon

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the new Director of ICE Field Operations.

Ask yourself, who but could possibly be more qualified when it comes to trafficking? Also, I'd bet he is also very knowledgeable about drugs.

5. Federal crime in a federal court and then a Trump pardon? Absolutely. This would be chump change....

......compared to some of Trump's other majestic perversions of justice.
