Trump colludes with a foreign power

[edhopper]

and engages in other nefarious and possibly illegal acts to become President.
And because of being in this office, he is immune from prosecution?
How does that make sense?

[guillaumeb]

1. Agreed.

How can anyone be above the law? If that were true, impeachment would not be an option.

[edhopper]

2. I think if the way he attained office

is suspect, he shouldn't get the protection of that office.
No impeachment, LOCK HIM UP!!

[guillaumeb]

3. No, it is "lock her up".

No, that was the 2016 mantra, and the head cheerleader for that one, Mike Flynn, already pleaded guilty.

[edhopper]

5. I know.

You know I was making fun of that, yes?

[guillaumeb]

6. I do, and I hope others do as well.

[edhopper]

9. sometimes you can't tell

I didn't want to presume.

LOCK HIM UP!!

4. That's why I believe he can be indicted and prosecuted while in office

People who say he can't are missing the forest for the trees. They are looking at various legal opinions and wordings of documents, which are, in my view irrelevant, but not at what the founders actually intended and we all were taught - nobody is in fact above the law.

7. The biggest thing is the republican Congress who is protecting him

Because their party is made up of bigots who support the shit.

[byronius]

8. Really, all other arguments to the contrary must redefine 'republic' and 'democracy', or

ignore the terms altogether. These most basic definitions of the United States of America must be twisted beyond recognition and logic to permit this bizarre charade to continue.

In a plutocratic dictatorship the wealthy and powerful are immune from prosecution.

Like kings.

10. Seems someone screwed up bigtime when they wrote the constitution.

Not sure anyone could anticipated such a vile person getting into the office.

[edhopper]

12. I think they did

but they never anticipated that the rest of the government would turn a blind eye to it.

11. Back in 1776 there was no conception of MSM either.
