They have that law in Russia.
So every time there is a candidate against Putin, he has them charged and jailed.

Imagine how a crooked Texas (or any other Confederate State) prosecutor would abuse this.
Imagine how a biased crooked Supreme Court would abuse this....
If the system was fair, lifetime mobster and convicted felon tRump would already be in jail.

Meanwhile, Hunter Biden is being punished harshly for being convicted for charges that would be a hand-slap for anyone else.
