I know it's a hypothetical, but I see hypothetical questions posted all the time around here.
I'd be willing to bet every last penny to my name that he wouldn't be.
So don't tell me that "nothing can be done" about Donald Trump being able to do/say/incite whatever the f*ck he wants.

With 31 lawyers as potential witnesses/accomplices, all with encrypted devices that take a year + to hack why, yes, he would still be walking around free.
