   The US political system of federalism was relatively stable historically because of the iron-clad tradition of not pr0secuting the political opposition.

   This likely NY charge creates a terr1ble precedent and makes the US much less politically stable for the long term. Presidents in the future will not step down at the end of their term if they believe they will be immediately h1t with show trials on ph0ny charges brought in h0sti1e jurisdictions with h0stile juries. Instead they will use their Constitutionally-derived status as Commander-in-Chief to pvrge the military of dissenters in order to stay in power. Since removal by imp3achment requires a nearly impossible 2/3 votes in the Senate it would be very hard to stop a president from doing so.

   I understand the sentiment behind the idea of "nobody being above the law", but the consequences of following such a statement with ideological rigidity are potentially catastr0phic in the long run. Is it worth jeopardizing the entire nation's future and stability to put one person behind bars? I don't think so.

   Too few commentators are applying Game Theory here. They fail to appreciate that politics is a repeated game.

   Former presidents are above the law because they have SS detail always attached.

   Der Bürgerkrieg ist eine bloße Fortsetzung der Politik mit anderen Mitteln, und umgekehrt, die Politik ist eine bloße Fortsetzung des Bürgerkrieges mit anderen mitteln.

   We can see a real world example of this in Israe1. Bevause the opposition was so d3ad set on bringing charges against him Netenyahu felt he had no choice but to form a coalition with unsavory MKs and dramatically gut the judicial system, generating internal cha0s.

    You don't understand the point of the post. Even if we were to assume that T really was a crimina1 on some misdemeanor charge, pr0secuting him is still a terr1ble idea due to the long run consequences. Additionally, there are so many vague laws on the books that nearly everyone has done some small infraction that is technically i11egal. Any partisan DA could likely find some 0bscure charge to bring against every former president.

    Libs, have you ever wondered why European nobles didn't castrate their enemies when they captured them?

    Why when a dynasty change happened in Imperial China, the new Emperor gave a good title to the head of the former dynasty instead of killing him?

    No I perfectly understand the point of the post. What I am saying is that every single politician should be held accountable so that THEY DON'T COMMIT CRIMES IN THE FIRST PLACE. It's called incentives. Law is supposed to provide them. Look it up, banana republican.

    Everyone is technically a criminal because we have vague nonsensical laws and partisan DAs. A diligent DA could find some small 0bscure infraction that you have commited and pr0secute you. Even if the charge was invalid you could still be found gui1ty by a h0stile and close-minded jury and have your appeal dismissed by h0sile partisan judges.

    You have to be squeaky clean outside, but the establishment must have something really compromising that only they know.

    Otherwise, no one ever gets any political traction nor matter what.
