Comment on How is former president of the US Donald Trump still free when a lot of the accomplices in things he has been indicted for are already in jail and or prison except him?

Maybe because he hasn’t been convicted of anything yet?
The actual answer is because every judge so far has deemed him trustworthy enough to not try and run from the law while he awaits trial.
Question the wisdom of those judges for yourself, but there are plenty of people in jail that haven’t been convicted of anything.
That’s the point of “jails” compared to “prisons” btw.
You go to a jail while awaiting trial. You go to a prison after conviction.
