There must be some explanation why Cohen and Weisselberg went to jail but Trump got off. Irish_Dem May 2024 #1

They both pled guilty to other crimes as well, including tax fraud. unblock May 2024 #7

True, but all essential the same crime, just in 34 installments unblock May 2024 #15

Yes but several different crimes (as opposed to 34 counts of basically the same crime) unblock Jun 2024 #38
