So what's the point?

The point is optics. The point is a criminal conviction with absolutely no consequences. How do you tell your children that no one is above the law when a felon convicted of multiple counts gets off with zero consequences? How do you convince our allies that we have a fair and just legal system when we let a criminal off for no reason other that they are rich and powerful?

There has been some evidence of a two tiered justice system for a while. This simply cements that fact. I don't think anyone can honestly argue that we do not have a two-tiered justice after this non-sentence.
