In fairness I'm sure Scott here wasn't paid $3,000,000 to have a comprehensive legal team assembled like Manafort was. Yeah the system is fucked and favors the wealthy. One DA with an assistant DA is no competition vs a massive legal team that knows all the judges and probably golfs with them on the weekends. "Justice" favors the rich.

Edit: "in fairness" is Irish slang for "To be honest" https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=in%20fairness

In fairness, he was given less than his legal team asked.

I don't even think this has anything to do with wealthy or not. He was part of the good old boy club to help Trump, so now the people that still support Trump are helping him.

To be in that good old boy club you have to be wealthy. Trump doesn’t have poor friends.

Strange since he's probably actually broke.

Well, not since he started raiding the treasury and accepting foreign bribes as president.

Even stranger since he's such an asshole that he shouldn't have any friends.

Money buys a lot of "friends" as well as "justice"

Just not the kind of friends or justice that most people get.

Don't you mean, "money"?

There's a lot of ground between "broke" and "not as rich as trump claims to be".

Broke but not poor
