I keep seeing this sort of reply here but I don't get it. Isn't the judiciary system in the US independent from politics? If you can donate your way out of jail

  The courts are independent, but for criminal matters government prosecutors decide whether someone even makes it to court. Consider the case of Hillary Clinton, who by textbook definition mishandled classified documents, which other people have been jailed for. She was not even referred for prosecution because of her widespread connections and political machinery. There's numerous other examples of connected people getting light or no sentences. Jussie Smollett is another one.
