The outcome is the same, but the meaning is scarier. In the first case, it's a corrupt/incompetent politician being corrupt/incompetent, which is nothing new (Bush is the same redneck dipshit who purposefully lied to justify a war with Iraq)
This time, it's a competent judge outright refusing to enforce the law even after he himself found them unambiguously guilty of breaking it, and even found they destroyed evidence to try to avoid getting caught. The rot has crept into the judiciary, which is supposed to be America's final line of defense against corruption and injustice.
I think I'm going to start investing in crypto, or maybe launch some AI-powered botnet to scam vulnerable grandparents out of their life savings. The age of honesty and integrity is officially dead.
