*underage teen girl who was “staying at his residence” (emphasis mine)
And while I think he should face the full penalty of the law, why do prosecutors even bother considering the president has done the same and worse? If the law is not applied evenly, it loses its moral authority. And without moral authority, people cannot be expected to follow the law at all. Thus, while what the mayor in this case did was morally reprehensible, it was not morally illegal, since the law is exempting politicians. Therefore, the law must be applied equally to all (this is what is meant by justice being blind) for it to be morally applied to anyone.
But only politicians who toe the capitalism line. If this guy had advocated for living wages instead of sniffing underwear, he’d probably have a mysterious car accident.
Hippity hoppity, the law doesn’t protect people, only property
Maybe if that underage girl would pull herself up by her bootstraps and become a job creator she could get some legal restitution. But if she had bootstraps, fuckin’ Dingus would just sniff those too.
If the law is not applied evenly, it loses its moral authority.
The law is made by the dominant class, for the dominant class. All law enforcement is selective law enforcement, and class always plays in to the application of state “justice”.

Trump is rich, this guy is not. It tracks with history that they get different penalties.
