Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

But releasing it has no basis on whether or not prosecutions happen; in fact releasing the information probably poisons the prosecutorial well and makes it harder to prosecute since you taint the jury pool (especially since you're never going to get the full, unredacted information - you're just going to get the version that's been created in narrative by social media).
Really good point.
I'm honestly just sad that rich people get away with this kind of nonsense. :-/
You and me both :/
They get away with literally everything, and if somehow they don’t, they’ll be pardoned.
They repel repercussions but demand so much more of everyone else with so much less, and love to punish.
Their lives are games in God Mode: having every impulse gratified, every action celebrated, every whim realized… And then they’re given the presidency by the people they see as NPC’s.
They literally cannot conceive of any part of your or my struggles, let alone give a shit.
