Extract from The Guardian. Kudos.
"The French justice system chose courage over surrender. The law was clear, and so was the court in its sentencing: no special treatment for Marine Le Pen, no deference to the powerful, no using a candidacy for office as an excuse to break the law with impunity."
US legal system submitted to the idea that the pursuit of justice and defence of the rule of law would create disunity. They lack courage to even protect the rule of law against an attempt coup détat and send the convicted felon to jail. Now US is in a sorry state and a global pariah.
