    he’s endured a full federal prosecution

    If you’re going simp for the tangerine Mussolini, at least get your facts straight: this was a STATE prosecution.

      Excuse me, felony prosecution.

      And when you consider how many federal indictments have staled out or been dismissed, you begin to see the scope of the problem. The Biden DOJ is toothless in the face of a mafia kingpin. You need the state courts to step in precisely because the federal courts are so stacked in favor of protecting political elites.

        It’s so unfair! If history didn’t convict all previous criminal leaders, we can’t start now!
