13. I do wish he had not asked the question of whether it would be good or bad to prosecute.

How can it be bad? there should be no question about it.

Let's see, if it is decided that it is bad the message is "Politicians, you can do anything you want, no matter how corrupt or criminal it may be, you WILL get away with it.", which unfortunately, has been the norm the past years.

If it is decided that it is a great idea to prosecute, it will send a huge warning to al politician and incoming presidents that corruption and crime will not be tolerated, that accountability is alive, and they will be prosecuted for their crimes. That should derail a few wars, if not stop them completely.
