Law professor Anthony Michael Kreis has outlined what is at stake for the former president amid reports he is due to be indicted for fourth time this year.
I'll breathe a sigh of relief once he's in jail. Before then, he's a criminal walking around with no justice. How many times is he going to get away with the law?
Oh how I’d love to see him in jail, but I just can’t see this happening to a former US president. I’d imagine house arrest at a maximum, unfortunately.
It's a bit nuts how untouchable we have made this position be. I read that even George Washington noticed it out and tried to reign it in. Maybe if there was a way to get rid of presidents based on no confidence or something it wouldn't have morphed into what it is now.
Question - I saw someone leaked the charges. could this impact the trial at all? like, could he claim it was improper and therefore get the whole thing thrown out?
I am honestly asking because I am not good at understanding the law lol
I'm not a lawyer so take this with a big grain of salt, but the charges get read at the beginning of the trial so it's not much of a spoiler. It's hard to imagine this would have an appreciable impact.
