The man broke the law in order to publish documents damaging to Trump. Biden pardoning him would be seen as a reward for attacking his political opponents

Please explain my logic, because I can't make heads or tails of how it justifies not applying the law to Trump

If I was rich as hell I'd be like "you want my tax returns? why so you can have a crywank?"

That's why Trump didn't release them, he isn't rich as hell

It's not that it can be measured forever, it's just that it refuses to match up with any line on the ruler.

For a line of length pi: it's somewhere between 3 or 4, so you get a ruler and figure out it's 3.1ish, so you get a better ruler and you get 3.14ish. get the best ruler in existence and you get 3.14159265...ish

He got the maximum sentence because he was unrepentant of the crime, and because anything less than that would seem biased. I didn't see any mention of fines, maybe he got off easy there?

If you check the original article there's a bit at the bottom where the prosecution wanted to charge him for much more than just one Unauthorized Disclosure
