"Because the penalty is being imposed before the judic1al process is complete." -BHM

Huh? The trial is over. He lost. In our legal system when you lose a trial, the penalties take effect immediately.

Penalties often happen long before the appeal process is complete. Heck, sometimes they happen before even a trial has taken place. People are denied bond all of the time (or are given a bond amount they cannot afford) and have to sit in jail before they even get a trial.

Here is a clue to know if you are in a cult or not. Given all of the atrocities that happen in the judicial system (people given death sentences because they were railroaded into giving false confessions by lazy cops, disparate sentencing based on race, poor people run over in the legal system because they cannot afford adequate representation, etc, the list goes on and on), the thing you get worked up over is a multi-billionaire, with the best representation money could buy, losing a case where the evidence was clearly stacked against him and then he whines about the fine. If that is what bothers you about the judicial system, then you are a cultist.

"Because the penalty is not based on the harm to known victims...."

Except is was based on the level of harm to known victims. You can look at the judgement and you can see exactly how the penalty was calculated. If you defraud people, you don't get to benefit from that fraud.

"Because this is a political prosecution, conducted by a corrupt AG who ran on, "Elect me and I'll get him for something"."

There is so much wrong with your statement.
1. It is clear you do not believe in the rule of law. An AG empanels a grand jury (made up of citizens), presents them evidence and gets them to vote to charge Trump. Then charges Trump, goes to trial, wins the case against Trump and his highly paid lawyers, wins the penalty phase of the trial. Knowing that all of this is going to be subject to the appeals process where those highly paid lawyers can jump on any little mistake. You consider than political prosecution. Yet when Trump encourages a crowd to chant "lock her up!" at his rallies, or calls for Liz Cheney to be jailed, or literally pressures his AG (Bill Barr) to appoint a Special Prosecutor (John Dunham) to investigate his enemies, or illegally withholds aid to a foreign government as pressure for that foreign government to investigate his political enemies, etc, etc, etc. You do not have any problem with any of that. It is clear, you don't want rule of law, you only want non-cultists prosecuted.

2. You say AG James is corrupt. What do you base this statement on. I am guessing it is because your dear leader told you it so you believe it absolutely.
