    The prosecuting authorities are not equipped to pursue a person of actual means and political status. All these offices know how to do is prey on people without the ability to defend themselves. Even when Trump loses a case on all 34 charges, he gets to spend the next three months running for President without even worrying about sentencing.

    Compare that to the 90%+ of convicts who cannot afford to do more than accept a plea bargain before they’ve even been inside a courtroom.
