I have a 7-year-old and a 12-year-old, who keep abreast of Trump’s legal situation through household osmosis and The Week Junior. They knew Trump’s sentencing date, understanding it to mean that even former presidents are not above the law.
Moving sentencing until after the election made it clear to them that actually, Trump *is* above the law. He has halted all accountability. Power is superior to law. I’d be lying if I told them otherwise.
@waldoj The critical thing to keep in mind is that Biden's administration was on board with the move.
It's not that Trump is above the law. It's that the Democrats apparently don't care about pursuing this.
We need to hold Democrats accountable for this.
@waldoj Biden absolutely does have to do with how the federal cases are proceeding.
It's his administration. He holds responsibility for what his administration does. That is a core principle of the US system.
@volkris You have no idea of what you're talking about.
@waldoj well what do I get wrong?
@volkris Biden has nothing to do with them. This is not how government works.
