> But voters would decide how much the embezzlement continued to matter

This is not up to voters to decide. If Le Pen murdered someone it wouldn't be up to voters for decide if the murder mattered.

Politicians don't have a separate legal system for them that allow voters to be judges. They are subject to the same intependent judiciary.

All the rest of your response falls apart after that.
