    This is the same crime that Michael Cohen got three years in prison for. A crime he committed solely to benefit Trump. It makes no sense.

      It makes perfect sense when you realize that the US punishment system is divided into two different systems.

      You’re either in the system for those who happen to be rich, and are supporting the system, in which case you automatically get released with a slap on the wrist.

      Or you’re rich or poor and happened to disagree with the status quo. In that instance you’ll be fed to the punishment meat grinder, having “the fictitious and imaginary book of laws” thrown at you for the harshest punishment that the US punishment system can imagine through “precedent.”
