How is former president of the US Donald Trump still free when a lot of the accomplices in things he has been indicted for are already in jail and or prison except him?
I am asking here because all the political subs don't allow a question, and US politics used to seemed so simple until to understand this man came along.

The rich and powerful are exempt from the rules
Close. They have the resources (money and connections with money) to fight back.

Nah they're just exempted.

Most of their crimes are never even investigated.
... because they have money/power. You think the judge let him off free just for fun? The judge got paid (or threatened) one way or another. If the du pont guy didn't have the money/connections he did they would have locked him up and not given it a second thought.
Same with Shelly Miscavige, there's a lot of people with money involved. It's an uphill battle. Nobody should be above the law, but it's allowed because if you have enough money you can at the very least exhaust the resources of those trying to come after you.
They always get away with it.
