Legality and the Constitution on the trial in the USA, when the president elect, whose inauguration is a few days away was sentenced to jail unconditionally. But the law was bent to accommodate him. And being the first ever serving an ex president to be so sentenced. Make his case exceptionally different.
Democrats don't hit the streets calling for nullification of the election as fondly behaving in  this part of the world. They allow every institution to function independently. And the election in America is sacossant and could not  be a toy. .Because of the budget involved in its execution.
Patriotism go beyond personal interest. As displayed  during/after election in America.
Lesson learnt is seeing serving one Nation as a call to duty but not for personal enrichment.
