    Trump wasn’t “arrested” in the way Navalny was - i.e. poisoned and tossed in a cell to die. Trump is getting trials, and frankly getting a lot more leeway during those trials than the average citizen would. To date every court is erring on the side of leniency when dealing with his behavior. Punishments are only given after he is found guilty of things he actually did, and they are within the previously established guidelines.

    The nation is not going to apologize to the MAGA crowd for demanding their cult leader not commit crimes like fraud, sexual assault, and trying to dodge US democracy with an insurrection.

      the fact that there is still sensitive, secret, compartmentalized material KNOWN TO BE MISSING, AND CONTINUES TO BE MISSING, yet this orange fuckwit walks free should tell you everything you need to know about the US’s justice system.

      he should be in Leavenworth, making big rocks into small rocks into pebbles.

        I remember the shit show in a training facility when someone absentmindedly walked from one room to another with a classified document. It never left his hand, but it was not supposed to leave whatever room it was in.

        My dad almost had his security clearance revoked once because he missed a credit card payment and “debt can be used as leverage”. He was a bosun mate, calm down. Nobody is leveraging $50 worth of payments and late fees on a Petty Officer , even during the cold war.

        But sure, this man can sell classified documents to foreign countries “lose classified documents”, quite a few, in fact, and so far face no consequences, years on.
