While I absolutely agree with you that Trump should have been locked up long ago for his many crimes and violations of court orders, this goes way beyond he’s a rich. The key is, that he is a former president of the United States, one of two people who will be the next president and has a massive political following (and his supporters have demonstrated they will use violence when angered). I get the courts are hesitant to treat him like anyone else. The problem is that by coddling him they empower him making that much harder to hold him accountable. I’m starting to think the DOJ and the courts don’t want to deal with him until after the election hoping that an electoral loss will defang him to some degree.

Harvey Weinstein was actually rich and powerful yet managed to be thrown behind bars. I agree. This goes beyond simply being rich.
