This is what terrorizes my mind and disheartens me the most.
After years of amassing evidence of Trump's crimes — now, specifically, his egregious, criminal violations of national-security laws and repeated obstructions of justice ...
the department of Justice will investigate him further, dive deeply into numerous, related crimes ...
ultimately indict him and convict him ...
only for us to witness ...
a federal judge ruling that because of his "eminent" status as a former U.S. president — not as just another U.S. citizen, which he is, who also stupidly endeavored in outrageous criminal activities ...
Trump is to be sentenced to probation only.
With that, heaven forfend, will go my last, lingering drams of trust in the United States system of criminal justice.
