    @LuFins-Dad said in Trump says he expects to be arrested on Tuesday:

    Mr. Trump will be the first former president to face criminal charges.

    But he won’t be the last, now that this Pandora’s box has been opened.

    Nobody should be above the law. Is it a good case? I have no idea as I wasn't sitting on the grand jury. Apparently they thought so.

    If a current. past, or future president breaks the law, charge them like any other citizen, and let a grand jury decide if there is reason to take it to trial.

    I for one, welcome the opening of "Pandora's box" for all government employees, elected, or appointed. All of them. Even and especially, congress critters, senators, the FBI, CIA, DHS, IRS etc.

    We did away with the concept of "The King" a long time ago. The president, sitting or former, should not be above the law. Period.

    Let's rewrite the law for the presidential pardon too. It should be limited and need to be vetted by a independent council.

    I absolutely 100% support the recent passage of the bill to take the war powers back from the executive. Giving them to the executive was blatantly unconstitutional.

    Too much damn power in the hands on one individual.

    A much welcomed, and long overdue reinstatement of the American government ideal.

    I think that'll take a Constitutional amendment. THat's a big deal, and, though your thoughts are good, this is very, very unlikely.

      From the RWEC:

      "No doubt Trump will get a political bump in the short term, but what if the case is still going on when the primary season begins? Will Republican primary voters really want to nominate a candidate who is in the midst of a criminal proceeding that theoretically could send him to jail? "

        @George-K

        There’s a reasonable chance he’ll be fighting criminal indictments in two states and the US by the end of the year.

          They told us if Trump was elected we’d be a banana republic. Looks like they were right.

            This case is weak but GA and DoJ not at all. AFAIK

                Isn't that the purpose of the whole thing? It should drag out until the election.

                I guess they could convict him a few weeks before the election.

                    Maybe they'll call Junior as a witness?

                            Er...no, Rep. Pelosi. He is innocent. The government has to prove him guilty. That's how it works in this country.

                                      That a Speaker could make such a fundamental error is . . . what.

                                      Dispiriting.

                                      Not sure if I'm more discouraged about the quality of our political leadership or the voters who put them there.

                                        You know, many on the right couldn't believe Trump let Hillary walk. Even Hillary was surprised. But, it was for the good of the country.

                                        Well, that contract has now been shredded.

                                        Trump may be the first, but he won't be the last.
