Well, taking bribes seems to not only be tolerated but encouraged by the current administration. Can’t break the law if you are the law!

He’s still not in jail? I thought they caught him taking Azeri or Israeli or Russian bribes or all of the listed.

Nope, and it’s actually pretty clever what happened. The judge in the case basically let him go (which is what Trump wanted) but in such a way that the DoJ can’t ever relitigate it (something Trump didn’t want).
Justice was denied, imo, but under the circumstances, the judge managed to thread the needle and keep Trump from being able to blackmail him into doing his bidding.
