Forgive me if this is simplistic in any way: but this hearing strikes me as an awful example, a horrendous example, of the inequities in our system. Let's face it. Donald Trump has broken laws. Probably many laws. Financial laws. Laundering laws.
But he's very, very rich. And he's very, very powerful. He can sue and sue and sue anyone and any time he likes. He's also President of the United States (which he came to by nefarious means, by the way). And, in that role, he's pretty much stacked the courts with his people. So Donald Trump's crimes get washed away in a perfect storm of legal verbosity, technicalities and bullshit.
Some guy here on the corner, who sells marijuana to another guy, is not treated this way. A refugee at the border--a legitimate refugee, seeking asylum in a moment of distress--gets locked up for 21 months without a meaningful day in court. I mean, Donald Trump is going to walk free. Donald Trump who has lied, stolen, embezzeled, threatened, abused. His crimes get papered over by all this bullshit.
