It shouldn't have to get to a slap-down, to be considered working.
You do realize the government caused the defendant a mountain of money before Smith got bitch slapped?
You're ok with that? Is that the system working? The " we don't care about what's right or wrong, as long as the government wins or bankrupts the defendant?
Really,?
What are you talking about? I care about what is right, I don't care "which side wins". Maybe this is the difference. I'd be just as happy if Trump was found not guilty of the 46 felony charges, as long as the system worked to enforce the law.
Prosecutorial discretion makes all the difference in law enforcement. Both sides realize this, from information in different contexts. The prosecutions of Trump or Jan 6 rioters on the right, "mass incarceration of minorities" on the left. Both are thought to be the product of biased prosecutorial discretion. The left does something about it by appointing and electing prosecutors whose explicit platforms are to go easy on criminals. They also happen to elect or appoint prosecutors with explicit platforms to go hard on Trump.

No amount of evidence at this point will make it obvious what Trump did was un-American and immoral. Trump verbalizes his own reality, it has helped him succeed in business, it has also led to dozens of bankruptcies. It helped him win in 2016, and helped him and the GOP lose in 2018, 2020, 2022, and likely 2024.
Again, imagine if Obama had done all that.
