Donald Trump, the first convicted felon to be elected president, was sentenced today in his New York hush-money case, pleasing virtually no one. Trump managed to get the former case before the Supreme Court, which granted astonishing immunity to a president; though the DOJ moved forward even under the new rules, Special Counsel Jack Smith dropped the charges once Trump won the election, a nod both to DOJ rules that bar prosecuting a sitting president and to Trump’s vow to kill the case. In one sign of how tightly intertwined these things have become, the defense lawyers representing Trump today are poised to take top positions in the Justice Department once Trump is inaugurated.
