The complete unwillingness of anyone in the American “justice” system to do their fucking jobs is wild to me.

Like, if nothing else, being the one guy willing to go after a big fish will catapult you into a media career if you want it.

Why isn’t there one random rogue mayor or sheriff willing to take a big gamble and arrest someone powerful for blatantly breaking the law if for no other reason than clout? Why did no one arrest Trump for violating their mask mandates back when those existed? Why hasn’t anyone arrested Biden for violating US law by giving weapons to Israel? Or Nancy Pelosi for insider trading?

Like, will it work in the end? Probably not but fuck it, why not try? There’s nothing legally preventing it, technically high ranking politicians are no different from anyone else and if they commit a crime in your jurisdiction you have just as much right as with anyone else to drag them out in handcuffs, book them, and throw them in a cell awaiting trial. In fact, wealthy powerful people are a huge flight risk, you should probably deny them bail.
