It's also not for cases where the accused is an immensely-wealthy former POTUS. I'll be shocked if he suffers any substantial punishment.

I'll be shocked if they even manage to assemble a jury, for that matter. Pretty much everyone in the country either loves him with religious fervor or despises him and everything he stands for.
