Pretty much what the title says. I know he’s a former president and has all of his supporters, but what’s the official reason? Thanks.

    Mainly because Trump can start riots with a word and nobody gives a fuck about Sam Bankman Fraud. Obviously the cases are different, but the reason the approach is different is the aforementioned riots and possible civil war.

        I understand, but that’s the reason. Even though legally he may have defrauded a bunch of people, they can’t go after him as hard, because he can set the country on fire with a word. That’s why no matter what he does, he seems to get away with it. He’s not bulletproof. It’s just that if you take a shot and miss, you’re gonna kill innocent civilians.
