@1dalm @Lightfighter @GottaLaff People (validly) gripe that Trump is getting away with pretrial BS that most people would be jailed for – but don't forget: most people don't have five allies on the Supreme Court, watching carefully for any excuse to help Trump. With the exception of Cannon, the trial judges (civil and criminal) are bending over backwards not to protect Trump but to protect the trial calendar and to minimize the chances of verdicts being reversed on appeal.

Trump's not being treated differently because he's a former president. Trump is being treated differently because the judges know fascism has infiltrated the judicial system, and are doing their damndest to keep the system honest while they still can.
