At issue, per NBC, is the long-standing DOJ policy we became so familiar with in Donald Trump’s first term: that a sitting president cannot be prosecuted.
It’s a little fucked up that a) we elected a convicted felon who is on trial for other things and b) we shouldn’t be able to vote for him at all. On the otherhand, he’s “being exonerated by his peers.” Point a still stands, but maybe not b. But the obvious problem with that is the American people actually haven’t heard the cases against Trump—even through the media. I’m rambling at this point, we all knew he’d never face any real consequences, but this just makes it all that more real.
