”Justice delayed is justice denied” - Gladstone, British PM late 1800s
Trump is either guilty or innocent. No matter your politics, those are the only 2 possibilities.
If guilty of the long list of crimes he is being investigated for, he should be in jail, penniless, and barred from running for any office.
If innocent, his name should be cleared, his time should be free to run for office, his money should not be endlessly wasted on immense legal fees.
But neither of those things is going to happen. Not now, and probably not through 2024. Instead, he will be permanently investigated, with no end-point, no final resolution. The way our “justice” system now works, nothing ever gets finalized. It just drags on forever. Convictions get overturned; pardons for those with influential friends. The process is the punishment; guilty and innocent are punished randomly and arbitrarily. Politics corrupts the process. Judges are chosen for their promise to “legislate from the bench”, enacting someone’s social agenda. |
