Donald Trump's sentencing was postponed to after the election to avoid any appearance of election interference. Can he be sentenced while he is President Elect?
I'm not saying that it's likely or that it would have any effects.
Oh no, of course he can't. There's decorum and precedent to consider! Best to give him free reign to do whatever the fuck he wants without fear of consequence or repercussion.
Nor do those with similar positions as him want to establish precedent that they can be held accountable, which is the root reason why it took 4 years to accomplish exactly nothing.
