There it is, plain as day. He literally just admitted to his crimes.

I mean. There's always been a very different justice system for the rich v poor. I'm not expecting much. Slap on the wrist, a little community service that he can pawn off or do in some cushy way. Maybe I'm setting my hopes low, so as to avoid the fall of it does actually turn out that way.

Exactly what I'm afraid of. Something like that will not deter anyone else that's smarter than him to try again. I really hate to say it, but he needs to be made an example of. He's admitting the crime he's accused of doing. And he's a former president.

It's a scary time for the U.S.

Unfortunately I think he's America's Sulla. Sulla didn't destroy the Roman Republic, but he fatally wounded it by demonstrating that it was too weak to stop someone like him. All it took was someone more power hungry following in his footsteps to destroy the Republic.

Usually rich people get out of stuff by hiring smart lawyers and listening to what they say, though.
