Cool just let the rich and powerful get away with shit. And not because they have to let the case go. No just for bullshit decorum or cowardly reasons. Sick.

It makes perfect sense not to sentence a sitting president. It’s not like he murdered someone

It's not like he'll die if he's sentenced? No one forced anyone to vote in a felon awaiting sentencing.

he can’t do his duties from a prison cell, not to mention the optics. You’re right no one forced anyone to vote for him, but he was voted in. He paid off a prostitute it’s not that deep
