I mean he was the President. As much as I hate the guy and think he is an awful leader he still has privilege above ours. Life has politics EVERYWHERE. His boss. His family. His community. There are certain things this judge has to balance in every decision.
I don't know the judge or the details of the case. But you ask why he is hauled off? Because MOST white old guys that fuck up are just slapped on the wrist, pay a fine, and do community service unless he actually was violent. Did he perpetuate violence? Absolutely. Has that been proven in a court yet? No. It's not so black and white.
