Two-Tiered Justice System

Allen Weisselberg, former Trump Organization CFO who pleaded guilty to 15 felony counts of fraud and could have been sentenced to 15 years in prison, will spend only 100 days behind bars.

If anyone has a theory behind the ultra-lenient treatment here, other than that our justice system deals with rich, well-connected white men in a fundamentally different way than it addresses low-level pot vendors, I’d certainly like to hear it.

Trump will go down, but it seems very unlikely that the decades of fraud he and his organization committed in New York will be the vehicle by which that happens.
