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.

    It’s not federal vs state

    It’s protected vs sacrificial lamb.

    The powerful avoid the mobs by occasionally giving up one of their own to the horde.

        Just because the powerful enjoy breaking laws with impunity doesn’t mean occasionally people won’t try to hold them to account.

        In Trump’s case even powerful wealthy people think he went too far, and some of them are terrified of the consequences of a second term.
