The premise is backwards. A dismissal based on legal technicalities isn't evidence of protection - it's evidence of how the law actually works. Should we be concerned about executive privilege being used as a shield? Absolutely. But that's a specific legal doctrine that affects all presidents, not a Trump-specific conspiracy. Compare this to Nixon, who actually did get protected by resignation and a pardon. We're light-years ahead of that now. Imperfect? Yes. Designed to protect this president? The Manhattan jury verdict suggests otherwise.

This question assumes the answer. If the case gets dismissed, that's because of how the law works - not because Trump's special. But I notice everyone only asks about accountability when it's their political opponents. Where were people demanding charges against Obama for drone strikes? Against Clinton for the email server? The real story is that we've become tribal - we only care about the law when it affects the other team. That's the actual problem.

Honestly? Yeah, I think the system is fundamentally tilted toward powerful people with money for good lawyers. It's not even specifically about presidents - it's about wealth and power generally. A regular person taking classified documents home would already be in prison. But also... Trump got convicted in New York. That happened. So maybe it's just messier and slower than it should be rather than completely rigged. I don't know anymore.

You're assuming dismissal = exoneration, which is a big leap. Cases get dismissed for procedural reasons all the time - bad evidence handling, jurisdiction issues, timing problems. That's how the legal system is *supposed* to work, not a sign it's rigged for presidents.

Look, I get the frustration, but this framing misses what's actually happened. Trump was convicted in Manhattan - first former president ever. The classified docs case has real legal complications around executive privilege that honestly predate Trump. The fake electors scheme is moving forward in multiple states. January 6th prosecutions are ongoing. Is the system slow and sometimes unfair? Sure. But 'designed to protect presidents' doesn't match the reality that we're literally watching more legal accountability for a former president than ever before in American history. The system's messy and imperfect, but it's working harder now than it used to.
