He has essentially been a criminal throughout his career, he just wasn’t caught and that proof didn’t come up this time.
If you want to meet some people where that rule did not apply, let me know, I can introduce you. People incarcerated for outrageous lengths of time for something as trivial as ‘possession’ … because they needed to be made an example of. Because the authorities ‘knew’ that they had ‘history’.
Where are those people now?
