Specifically, that's how the law in New York works.  It's not right but Trump gets no sympathy from me.
In New York anyone who does business is guilty of something.  It is not possible to serve customers, compete, and still be compliant with the letter of their law because the law demands so much.  But they selectively enforce it and have their hands out for campaign donations with a wink wink, we won't enforce the law against you for the next four years if we win. It's a terrible system, but most stay in its good graces.  Tump is no longer in its good graces but it doesn't matter why.  After January 6, he deserves this and worse.

Your passivity and excuse making for selective enforcement of the law is exactly what's wrong with America. You want to know why I rail against moderates? It's this reason, right here. Anything for your comfort. Never any zeal for real change. No principles. Just derpity derp politics.

I've done business in New York just 3 times in my life.  I probably never will again. I have no close family there, only second and third cousins I've never met. Making their system of government less corrupt is not a high priority for me, sorry.  I certainly wouldn't speak against any New Yorker who tried to clean it up.  Nor would I speak against the feds if they did.  But the federal statutes aren't there, yet, to give federal prosecutors or administrators the ability to examine and expose these things.  And guess what, if a member of Congress or President Biden came in and said the federal government needs more authority to block enforcement of certain state laws, you probably wouldn't like that very much!
