8. Exactly. There is no doubt he did.

The question for authorities is:

Should they listen to those who say its a national security issue if they prosecute. It may be good for America internally to deal with this by the letter of the law, but internationally, this looks very bad. And other countries may use it against the US

Should they listen to one of the angles lawyers have used before. That Trump is such a newbie to public office that he routinely broke the law but didn't know he was, or how serious of an infraction it was. And is it worth the first point above, to prosecute a dimwit for being a dimwit.

I'm only putting it out there. I support fully prosecuting him. In the long run, it would be the best thing for the US. But I'm sure Trump's lawyers are using both of these arguments.
