The media are bending backward and turning into pretzels to avoid the elephant in the room.
But when the history of this time is written, it will say Trump was held above the law. He was allowed to corrupt his NY State trial by lying and pressuring witnesses, jurors and court officials in flagrant violation of normal procedures and the judge's written orders.
@sloudermilk The judge came right out and said that Trump is getting special treatment and jail is a "last resort" because of his position.
When the judge just openly says there's different rules, like it's nothing to say that, I would not hold my breath they're going to do the right thing.
@sloudermilk And the judge even said he's been allowed to get away with it because he's a former and possibly future president.
There he is, the one person with the most power to make sure a criminal doesn't become president, but he's afraid to use it because he might become president? That doesn't seem sound and reasoned.
We are witnessing our criminal justice system abandoning its credo that "no one is above the law". Instead they have yielded to political influence and personal fame.
It's shameful how Trump is allowed to manipulate everyone and everything.
