Yeah this proves the hypocrisy of the American justice system, open corruption like this means nothing if you are rich enough to usurp the law so blatantly .

Can we address the massive irony here that he would never have been elected in the first place if it weren't for Comey announcing the investigation into Hillary days before the election?

Trump got in BECAUSE OF Comey.

We are really sending a fantastic message to future presidents - just do whatever the fuck you want, who care, want to break the law in blatant ways? want to try to overturn the result of an election? go for it, even if you fail then no harm no foul.

I mean we mostly sent that message after the we let the Bush administration get away with pretty much everything, but Trump's criminality is so blatant even the dumbest would be fascists are going to get that message.

It's been that way since at least Nixon, probably well before.

Nixon got removed from office at least, and people went to jail for watergate.
Even for Iran Contra people went to jail. Bush pardoned most of them, which is bullshit, but we didn't just shrug our shoulders at this blatant criminality like we did with Bush's war on terror or literally everything Trump did.

Like yeah, it's more of a slide than a flip that switched when Trump got elected, but it's getting worse and worse.

A beautiful book about his 4 years in the White House...

...that ended with him inciting his deranged supporters into a terrorist attack on the Capitol Building.

What ever became of the Weisselberg investigation?

That went real quiet, too. Have a bet with someone that he's not even going to face jail time himself, much less take down Trump.

you'll win that bet on Trump

Nobody in the US political system is going to jail a former President. Everyone who is in a position to is either a President, wants to be President or wants to work for someone who will be President. It's like opening Pandora's Box if these guys can be held accountable.

If literally anyone else abused their office like this and fucking admitted it on national TV they would rightly be barred for life.
To his base that just makes him smart. I wonder how smart they would have thought it was if Obama pulled this shit. It would be wall to wall sharia BS all over the media.
