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.
@volkris That is not true. The Biden administration had nothing to do with the changed sentencing date. Those were state charges in a state court brought by a state prosecutor.
@waldoj oh sorry, I was thinking about the other cases
Biden has been surprisingly compliant with a lot of Trump's demands.
