Wait, so you can imprison someone before they are indicted? Why was Trump walking free for 4 years?

Yes.
Why was [...] walking free for 4 years?
Laws in the United States don't apply to the rich and powerful.
So the US is an illegitimate, corporate dictatorship? Understood!
More and more every day, but slow enough few people freak out about it.
i love your username! lol
I asked my friend how corrupt he thought the United States was about 3 years ago. He said it's 100% totally corrupt. I didn't believe him until about a year ago.
He was charged with murder in New York State. These are charges from the Department of Justice in a federal court, not the state court. This is how the Republicans are trying to make an example of him
Is this really a republican/democrat issue? Would the democrats prosecute Luigi differently? I think not. iMO bothe parties in the US serve the rich.
Didn't Trump's administration ask for the death penalty? Sounds political to me. At the end of the day they don't want people thinking they can just go around murdering billionaires, those billionaires might have to pretend to be human.
If I remember correctly the idea was floated around before Trump's administration picked it up
By Democrats?
That’s a fair point actually. Yeah, the democrats would definitely push this hard as well
Isn't this double jeopardy then? Being charged twice separately for the same crime?

No. Legally speaking, double jeopardy isn't a provision against being charged multiple times for the same crime, it's a provision against being charged multiple times for the same crime by the same sovereign entity.
The federal government and the state government of New York are two different sovereign entities, so they can both prosecute him for the same or extremely similar charges for the same crime, and double jeopardy is not invoked.
Thanks for the explanation. It's been a while since high school civics classes.
