Pretty much what the title says. I know he’s a former president and has all of his supporters, but what’s the official reason? Thanks.

    Moderate Dems don’t want to set the precedent of holding powerful politicians accountable, because moderate Dems are terrified if progressives gain power, they’ll hold people accountable regardless of the letter by their name.

    That’s the whole point of being “moderate” occupying the gray area in-between republicans and progressives. And when Republicans are bat shit insane grifters and progressives honestly aren’t asking for anything radical…

    Well, moderates aren’t exactly going to be great people, at least they don’t have to be. I’m sure some are just misguided and genuinely think they’re helping.

      A bunch of text, all of it unrelated to the question.

      Trump lost a civil trial, SBF lost a criminal trial.

      You can’t be sent to jail for breaking civil laws.

        So do you think Trump broke no laws doing that stuff?

        Because he did.

        If you want the explanation on why he had a civil and not a criminal trial, refer to that “bunch of text unrelated to the question”.

        Sometimes I forget different people need different amounts spelled out for them. I’m sorry I skipped a step and that caused you to become confused.

          Your comment proves you don’t understand what’s happening. At all.

          Trump defamed someone. That’s a civil issue. He was put on trial. On a civil trial. Because it’s a civil issue. He lost. He got fined. Not sent to jail. Because it’s a civil trial.
