How is former president of the US Donald Trump still free when a lot of the accomplices in things he has been indicted for are already in jail and or prison except him?

I am asking here because all the political subs don't allow a question, and US politics used to seemed so simple until to understand this man came along.
You're viewing a single thread.
If they arrest him, there is a major concern of right-wing terrorism.
Police departments don't want that to happen because they'll have to arrest their own.
Government departments will also start to point fingers at one another, as loyal maga fucks deep inside places may refuse to act or do their job.
The legal way is the most non-violent way to handle this, even if it does drag on and on.
I know this may be pedantic, but he was “arrested” the same day he was arraigned for the first three indictments (he will surrender later this week for the fourth one in Georgia). He just wasn’t handcuffed and isn’t being detained while he awaits trial. He was also booked at the courthouse instead of the police station.

I expect his secret service detail will act as an assurance that he won't skip the country.
All true. Arresting him would also make the Secret Service’s job enormously more difficult.
Only if he is in GenPop which won't happen.
Or easier, because they can just stand guard on his cell.
