What sucks about this whole system is that it relies on financial leverage. Imagine if you couldn’t hide from prosecution with enough cash. Or, imagine for a moment he’s innocent. He’s not, to be clear, and literally nobody believes he is, but imagine somehow he was the one guy in the corner of the room saying “Ya know, this is a crime and I will not be a part of it.” Innocent people are frequently ground into pulp by the justice system. Not Rudy, so I don’t have any sympathy for him specifically. It just feels icky to cheer as the orphan crushing machine is used off-label to crush people who deserve it for a change.
That’s not my point. I’m not saying he’s innocent. I’m saying he’s getting the shit end of the justice stick, and while I don’t feel an iota of sympathy, I do hate that our justice system has a shit end.
Dude could have retired as “America’s Mayor” and gone door to door in the USA getting high fives. But the thing is, he was always a piece of shit, we just didn’t know it.

In that case he could have quit, or reported the ongoing crime to the FBI.
Like, he’s not a manipulated teenager with nowhere to go, and if he “wanted nothing to do with it” he should have separated himself from it

He could have saved himself a lot of trouble by turning early or A CrAzY iDeA, if he didn’t commit the crimes.
