    I don’t expect a former president to get the same treatment as me. I expect them to have it better since our nation somewhat depends on them not being treated better.

    Especially currently, the judges are very smart in not pursuing apt punishment for his small infractions. Their eye is on the ultimate justice here. Because small punishments only stoke the fires. Small punishments make this look petty and weak and as if they want to get him for anything and everything.

    Will people still think that? Yes. But the image of these particular cases is far more important to justice than violations of gag orders.

    Just keep that in mind. Going after him for every small thing is more likely to cause further injustice in the nation if he wins election.
