I take your point. But I think the people that helped him avoid prosecution are mostly right out in the open. Several very highly paid attorneys, including Alan Dershowitz, who was lobbying his contacts behind the scenes (it seems he may have had personal motivation to help his client get a lenient sentence). And then we have Alexander Acosta, the US Attorney who has claimed he persued a lenient sentence because some "higher ups" in government told him to. Which seems about as flimsy as an excuse gets unless/until he reveals who these "higher ups" were.
