I don’t think it’s OK, but I think it was entirely expected. I agree that his prosecution was political, and that most other defendants would have gotten much less focus. I also agree that he broke the law and should serve his time.
Ultimately, our entire system is corrupt and we should do something to fix it. Sadly, we’ll have to wait at least two years for the next election to hopefully at least take back the House and/or Senate. But even if Dems take both, nobody seems to be interested in actually addressing the injustice baked into our government.
The supreme court, after such an amendment miraculously passes:
“Well actually, this sentence doesn’t mention the president of the United States in particular, so it means every president of every company ever. But a company president doesn’t have pardoning powers, so this makes no sense. So this amendment is invalid!”

There needs to be a constitutional amendment that says that presidents can’t pardon themselves, family members, or anyone that worked for them.
Can’t do that the best I can do is say they are all fully immune to prosecution.
