Not Equal Justice

Charlie Sykes: “Even though this may have been the least of Trump’s crimes, it was not a trivial matter. His attorney, Michael Cohen, went to prison for his role in arranging the payments. And, as Cohen later explained, the payoffs were not designed to cover up a personal scandal but were made ‘for the principal purpose of influencing the election.’ Cohen pleaded guilty to eight criminal counts, including ‘two counts of illegal campaign contributions related to payments to women.'”

“Cohen served more than a year in prison and a year and a half in home confinement. Trump himself faced as many as four years for his own felony convictions. But, unlike, Cohen, Trump will not serve a day.”
