The Founding Fathers or whoever the hell wrote the Constitution, never, ever imagined we'd have a narcissistic, evil, incorrigible psychopath run for and win, the presidency. Trump established the precedent by being elected and he was President by title only.

DOJ won't be prosecuting a former President...the case will be against a common thug who abused his power and tried to overthrow the government. DOJ has to prosecute all of 'em or else, the next thug in the White House will do the same damned thing.

The message has to be clear: no more wannabe dictators in any elected office.
