How is former president of the US Donald Trump still free when a lot of the accomplices in things he has been indicted for are already in jail and or prison except him?
I am asking here because all the political subs don't allow a question, and US politics used to seemed so simple until to understand this man came along.
As the president, and now ex-president, of the United States there are a significant number of political factions at play. If you're going to go for the king you better not miss, definitely applies to the politics of the president.
People in his orbit, don't have the same political protections, they won't create as much trouble when they go down. So they go down. They simply don't have the protection the leader has.
The fact that the political is influencing the judicial is a thing should warrant a "very unfortunately", being an utter travesty of the very concept of separation of powers. That it gets an "of course" says a lot about the state of the system itself.
