    All the more reason Trump needs to be convicted and thrown in jail. The world needs to see justice prevail. He should have never been elected and hubris by the American left allowed that.

    It’s actually happened loads of times in Republics. Read up on Gaius Verres Governor of Sicily 70 BCE. The Roman Republic had a laws that prevented officials from holding consecutive terms but also they couldn’t be ordered to court while serving. Thus they would be convected of their crimes after their term was completed

      Hopefully the democrates don’t start wheeling out the “letting the nation heal” crap. Trump needs to go down, the next fascist the GOP put forward probably won’t be as mentally deffeciant.
