      And his fan boys and girls all whine about him being picked on. We really are being played with.

          going after political opponents

          are the same party.

          It must be a cobweb of bullshit in your head. You’re right about the application of law being unequal, but not in the way you meant it chief.

          lol Trump is a career criminal and grifter, and you are the mark, and now he is finally facing legal consequences for years of crime.

          I feel sorry that you can’t see this and Trump has somehow convinced you it’s political persecution. It’s hard to hear or accept, but you are being grifted and tricked to support and follow a mob boss scam artist.

          That criminal tried to say my vote didn’t count and tried to have it overruled. I don’t care who’s political opponent he is. He needs to be sent to a federal pound me in the ass prison.

          Context matters.

          They’re not going after him BECAUSE he is an opponent.

          They’re going after him because he committed crimes.

          Being a political opponent does not grant you diplomatic immunity.

          Don’t feel sorry for others, feel sorry for yourself.

      Probably.

      The judges in Trump’s various cases have to walk a fine line between justice being served and accusations of being politically aggressive against a high profile defendant.

      Accusations which could derail the case and do even more damage to trust in the judiciary and the overall rule of law.

      And he’s the kind of person who’ll just keep stepping further over the line until the hammer finally comes down. Judges know this type, and they usually throw them in jail sooner because they know the violations will only get worse.

      But I doubt this guy’s ever going to jail. He’s rich and famous, so…different rules.
