    You're confusing criminal cases with civil cases.

    And the two are very, very different.

    If a wealthy white-collar person is convicted, expect their attorneys to appeal. In recent decades the Supreme Court has reversed very solid white collar convictions and federal appeals courts have followed that lead. " https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/op...064049644.html

    You're the reason there's no national unity. You have no desire for it and your hair is still on fire because the felon Hillary lost. There's no such thing as an opportunity to unite with Democrats and govern for the best outcomes for America. Democrats love Trump Hate a million times more than they love America!
    Government is force by definition and corruption by nature. The Bigger the government the greater the force and the greater the corruption.

    "Soft Coup?" That's amazing! The swamp scum in the Obama DOJ & FBI attempted to prevent Trump from becoming President by treasonous & felonious actions, and continued the FIRST CLASS HARDCORE COUP-de-qua to remove him from office after he was elected. Every one of them should be indicted, prosecuted and jailed for life!

    There is no reason for unity. Am I supposed to back off what I believe in the name of unity? That isn't going to happen. Unity is not needed or possible.
    Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation
    Pick your enemies carefully.
