You're not wrong, our current oligarchs can get away with almost anything. The only time they face serious consequences is when there is a coalition of other oligarchs who want to punish them.

Which is why I believe Trump and Netanyahu fall into this political trap of "win or prison". They both have many politically powerful enemies.

Maybe I'm being optimistic, I dont want to come off as a shitlib who's thinking "Mueller is really gonna get Drumpf this time!", but I think its very likely hes going to prison if hes unable to pardon himself.

Maybe. But I think there's a very good chance he wins in November. And rather than confront that possibility, we're seeing a lot of bureaucrats try to slow roll the process so as not to have to deal with the possibility of answering what you do with a President Elect who has been sentenced to a jail term.
