Can't indict because he is President. Became President because of an indictable offense.

How did Trump win?

Because the Electoral College said so. He did not win the popular vote, but still we thought, "OK, the system is still the system, we must respect the system."

Then, he got a Supreme Court pick put through, like shit through a goose, but still we thought, "OK, the system is still the system, we must respect the system."

Then, it comes out, and slowly the press revealed, that maybe Donald Trump isn't going to be our president, he is going to be Putin's president, but still we thought, "OK, the system is still the system, we must respect the system."

Paper Ballots!

I can deal with purple fingers for a few days, while we wait for the results.

Clapper is just expressing his opinion (in order to sell his book). It has no legal standing or binding.
