Quote:I am pretty sure the Constitution did not consider that prosecutors would not indict rich criminals because the criminals can outspend the prosecutors' entire yearly budget. Instead, prosecutors spend most of their budget convicting the poor, who can't overwhelm the prosecutors with an expensive legal defense team.

Trump, 75 years old, has been getting away with murder all his life.
Whether or not Trump goes to jail is between Trump and the US justice system, as specified by the US Constitution.
So what part of the US Constitution are you trying to eliminate?
The budget arithmetic for a prosecutor is brutal: either get convictions for a thousand poorer criminals with untalented, inexpensive defense lawyers or, for the prosecutor who is contemplating career suicide, indict one super-rich criminal with an unlimited budget for his defense lawyers. Prosecutors who want to keep their jobs will avoid indicting the rich criminals, unless the rich criminal foolishly admitted guilt, making the prosecutor's job very easy and a conviction almost guaranteed.

Yeah. It's a good show.
People need to be nicer to each other.
I never believed that "statistic" when Lasso said it, but it doesn't need to be true for the point to be made.
Since most humans can't remember what happened 2 weeks ago and that lets them fall into a state of constant hypocrisy when arguing with each other all the time, maybe we'd be better off if all of our memories were only 10 seconds.

Former President Donald Trump condemned the criminal prosecution of hundreds of his supporters who were part of the mob that invaded the Capitol during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
The Capitol riot began shortly after Trump, who was speaking at a rally outside the White House, urged the crowd to march to Congress and fight against an ongoing joint session there that was certifying the election of Democrat Joe Biden as president.
Trump since Election Day had falsely claimed that he lost to Biden only as a result of widespread ballot fraud in a number of swing states, a belief that has been embraced by many Republicans.
Thousands of Trump supporters swarmed the Capitol after the rally, with a number of them battling with police and invading congressional buildings, including the Senate chamber, forcing members of Congress into hiding.
Four people died that day in connection with the riot, including a woman shot by a police officer as she tried to crawl through a window toward the House of Representatives chamber.
Trump’s statement that those people are being “persecuted” came as police in Washington prepared for Saturday’s planned “Justice for J6” rally outside the Capitol, which is being held to support the defendants.
Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., D-N.J., quickly blasted Trump’s statement, accusing the former president of “trying again to gin up insurrection and get people killed.”
“I’ve called for Trump to be arrested and prosecuted for his Jan 6 treason,” Pascrell wrote in a Twitter post. “Nothing has changed.”

Quote:Prosecutors decide who they prosecute based on "guilt". What other reasons would prosecutors move cases forward if they didn't think they knew who was guilty?

Then the prosecutors take cases to the grand jury to see if the jury can be convinced. If the case is convincing, it is onward to a full trial.
At every step the prosecutors are thinking they know who is "guilty". It would be absurd to prosecute someone the prosecutor believed was innocent. But it is also absurd to prosecute a rich criminal who can afford the best lawyers to outmaneuver the prosecution.
It is even more absurd if the rich criminal is fat, old, unhealthy and likely to die from a stroke before a trial is over. Why waste time prosecuting somebody like Trump who will probably be dead, making a moot point of many years' worth of work prosecuting Trump? This is the kind of thinking that keeps prosecutors from jumping enthusiastically into prosecuting Trump. But just because prosecutors are afraid of being humiliated and mocked by extremely talented defense lawyers does not make Trump innocent.

Quote:The Constitution says one thing but actual prosecutors do another thing: In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; . . .

In Houston, the District Attorney wants to double the number of prosecutors because there are thousands of felony trials delayed for years, but Harris County refuses to pay. They recently added one judge, one, the first since 1985, to help move cases along faster.
In the real world, the courts do not give swift justice as required by the Constitution. Prosecutors are scared of cases where a wealthy criminal, Trump for example, could tie up many judges in multiple courts for years because Trump can afford to stall justice since he will never run out of money to hire the best and most effective defense lawyers in America.

Quote:Starting many years ago, Trump said he would make his income tax returns public. Then he didn't because he is a tax thief. Why is Trump not already in jail? Simply because the first step has not been made: the Biden administration won't be turning over former President Donald Trump's tax returns to the House until at least November, despite the recent dramatic Justice Department opinion that the IRS "must" hand them over. A federal judge will hear arguments then on whether Trump can block the tax returns' release. The scheduling development puts on ice for the foreseeable future one of two major ongoing court cases over access to Trump's tax returns.
