    Just how many laws does this man have to break before he faces any real consequences??
    It really is a divide of the rich and the poor, cause if any of us did just one of the things he’s done there’d be no question, and we’d be behind bars already.

      Unfortunately, to have a squeaky clean trial the prosecutor and judge need to go above and beyond so there’s zero chance trump can come back and claim bias, and ask for a mistrial.

      Stupid, but, not.

        and incidentally, this fear of accusation causes an inherent bias in the opposite direction. Slap him in jail already. Communication only through his lawyers. or maybe only through court appointed lawyers. Because, you know, his lawyers are also likely to be criminals.

          He has appeals judges partly in his pocket. If they are handed a case with zero objectionable actions by prosecution or the judge, they’re not going to go full-MAGA and say “we’re letting him out anyway”. If they have even the dumbest little technicality, they’re “just doing their job” in freeing him.

          Just look at his early SCOTUS appeals.
