    I’ve said this whole time he never would be punished. Even if he didn’t win, this was always going to be the outcome.

      I’m torn. I don’t agree with this verdict, but the system says he’s guilty. On one hand, we shouldn’t give the rich or politicians special treatment, so there’s that side of it. On the other hand, his overwhelming support in the 2024 election certainly serves as a referendum on what the public thinks about the lawfare he’s under right now, so I see that side of it too.
