The is absolutely ZERO question if the criminal conman is guilty or not, but some say that Benedict Donald shouldn’t be pros, cuz it would harm the coun.What?

 He’s ALREADY harmed the country, and if a precedent is set, that the president is ‘above the law’, what does that sat for our future, when someone as bad or worse (really hard to imagine) becomes president and realizes, ‘Hey, they didn’t prosecute Der Trumpkof, so why should I worry?’

Donald Trump may finally be indicted. Finally!

The Manhattan district attorney’s office has signaled that charges, related to Trump’s reported hush-money payments to the porn star Stormy Daniels, are likely.

But there’s also hand-wringing: about whether this is the best case to be the first among those in which Trump is likely to be criminally charged, the strength of this case compared to others and the historic implications of indicting a former president for anything.

And with regard to those implications, the central considerations always seem to be the importance of any precedent set by prosecuting a former president and the broader political significance — what damage it might do to the country. Often left out of that calculus, it seems to me, is the damage Trump has already done and is poised to continue to do.

Prosecution is not the problem; Trump himself is.

Why should he be above the law that all the rest of us are expected to obey, at the risk of incarceration?
