    Interesting.

    When a rich man is sentenced to prison, and then actually has to go to prison, it’s called a “legal loophole”.

      My first thought was “So we call ‘following the law’ a loophole now?”

      If the law meant a fucking thing, he would have been in prison decades ago.

          In a word: Garland.

          In two words: Merrick Garland

          In three words: fucking Merrick Garland

          In four words: fucking Merrick “Slowclown” Garland

          In five words: establishment hack as attorney general.

          'The voters are going to reject him and then we don’t have to go through all this messy business if prosecution."

          It’s the moral elevation of inaction for its own sake above action for any reason.
