I agree with several commenters here that being white is necessary for being excused for a felony, but I think it is not sufficient. Media would not be taking this tack if Bernie or Hillary were convicted of multiple felonies. I think Trump being a white bully is the key.

Bully is hugely important. A lot of people voting for him aspire to being in a position to get away with bullying others. It's like the "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" thing where people vote in the interests of the rich because they hope to become rich.Bully is hugely important.
