9. It is impossible to be an expert on things

that have not happened before. TFG gets away with everything, and the wait to see him get his is interminable! He's so used to it that he is blatant about it. Even these experts are putting their hopes forth. We do not want evil to win out, and if TFG does not pay somehow, it might seem like it did.

Rachel's podcast on Spiro Agnew brings it up - that they had to let him plead and settle on a sentence with no jail time, when others would have gone to jail. But because he had gotten into the Vice Presidency and he had the card that he could become President, crook that he was, but then he happened to be serving under the then most corrupt President - they had to let him off without jail in return for his resignation from the VP. Had he been under any other POTUS, it would not have been a worry, so the circumstances came together - the attorneys felt bad, because it let Agnew a little above the law.

So it's good TFG is out of office - no constraint like that exists.
