And why are these bureaucrats obsessed with a perception of fairness for Donald Trump when they were so cavalier with the treatment of a guy like Steven Donziger or Aaron Swartz or Brandon Mayfield or Leonard Peltier?
Because those other people don't have the MAGA cult behind them. We dot every I and cross every T with Trump, give him the beenfit of every doubt and be as transparent as possible so to avoid the appearance of it being a political attack via the courts as much as possible. To limit the protests (which will of course likely fall into the "fiery but mostly peaceful" category in terms of damage done and lives lost, but will definitely be reported on in a less forgiving way except on FOX, OAN and RT).
They’re running out the clock until election day, so they can throw out the case.
Of course they are - the best and likely only good defense Trump has is getting elected.
