[@johnhuggins5021]

My takeaway from this topic is simple: Former Presidents of the U.S., whether found innocent or guilty of crimes of this nature, are above the law, and as such will NEVER receive the same form of punishment that the average American citizen would receive if found guilty of a crime(s) as significant as this. Who gives a crap about what office he "held?" It's what he did to get there that matters!! This still pisses me off having honorably served in our U.S. Military for over 30 yrs in part protecting our country from its enemies, both foreign and domestic. Until now I have NEVER heard that our beliefs as citizens of our great nation are not "ALL" treated equally without EXCEPTIONS!! When did our laws change to reflect that it depends on how much money you made or what you did for employment? This is such B.S.!!!!

I'm with you, brother. You swore an oath to your country and fulfilled it whether in combat or in a support role. I've never served but have many family members who did, going back to WW1 and, as things go, the only one to lose his life was on a SAR mission in 1955. I'm grateful to those who, like you, are able and willing to stand up and defend a fragile democracy. Unlike Mr. Bone Spurs, who is not only a liar, thief, serial business failure, coward and, also through his psycopathy, says he'll be a dictator should he be elected. Dammit, I don't know what to think. I'm a Canadian, but am truly worried that the US, a sometimes flawed democracy with an inherent dream of hope, could descend into outright civil war and/or capitulation to the likes of Small Jaw Putin or Fat Bastard Chinese guy/North Korean guy. i don't trust in god but as an outsider, I put trust in the good people of the USA and, if the fecal matter hits the rotating ventilating device, I hope all those serving in whatever branch remember their oaths to protect and preserve the constitution and act should the orange monkey try to recreate Germany circa 1933.

It's very simple, the more power someone has, the MORE they need to be held accountable and the MORE SEVERE their sentencing must be. Some random citizen doing something that gets them 5 years in prison should be at least 10 for a cop. Former president? At least 20.

[@thseed7]

The fact that there is even a question as to whether a person convicted of a serious crime may not face incarceration because they were the president is disgusting to me. Misdemeanor cases for average people result in significant sentences. Anyone else would be jailed for the plethora of contempt charges. You can save the country by sentencing him to the mandatory minimums for his crime or you can let him walk and continue to behave worse and worse. How is minimizing incarceration beyond the standard even a consideration?

Which persons are you speaking of? I appreciate that MAGA comments are becoming increasingly prevalent but let’s not adopt their generalised form devoid of facts ……

[@imjustmeTBD]

I agree with the OP. Here's why: it's not fair that if we (being the regular public) commit crimes that's one thing; however, if we commit crimes against someone "higher up" or perceived as "better than you" such as a cop, a Congress person, a judge, etc., it's a level up factor getting you automatically more time behind bars. When you're fighting in court (meaning you're actually innocent) against a DIRTY cop, Congress member, judge, etc., though, it's a frickin' slap in the face, as that person should lose that "better than you" factor.

[@seanspartan2023]

Trump needs more than a slap on his tiny wrists. Our justice system is broken and needs healing. We need to start handing out sentences proportional to the crimes with zero regard to the defendant's race, sex, level of wealth, and what influential people they know. Equal Protection and Equal Prosecution under the law. Justice is supposed to be blind. ⚖️

I don't think (to be fair) it's wrong to apply the idea he did "serve" our country as a President when applying sentencing. Yeah, we all know he did it to enrich himself ultimately but that's not proven. Just like you may reduce sentencing for a veteran, I don't think it's wrong to plead that in sentencing. Otherwise, you could say "veterans have higher status."
