Oh, don't worry so much. ....
Worry?? You think I'm worrying because DT is going to jail?!? I'm rejoicing that justice is finally is being served, two and a half years after I started this thread.
You are projecting, Bud, just like your beloved leader (of the cult you are a proud and deluded member of) does.
Even if the unlikely happens and he is found guilty somewhere, he'll just pardon himself after 2024. But he'll be taking the deep state down.
That is another widespread lie. If Trumps is found guilty, it would be just unheard of a convict to hold the presidency of the US, but in theory it is possible. Curiously, the constitution of the US allows it BUT and this is the BUT:
Legal experts have pointed to the 14th Amendment as a way to keep Trump from holding office if he is convicted, which includes a “disqualification clause” that bars anyone from holding public office if they “have engaged in insurrection or rebellion” or “given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
So, sorry to break the news to you, but if he is found guilty (I would say when, not if) or promoting an insurrection - which he did very publicly - he would be disqualified from presidency.
However there are other reasons - donors are unlikely to give money to a convict and many Republicans say in the polls that they would not vote for Trump if found guilty.
The thing that you are missing is that the election will be over before Trump gets convicted... if he is convicted. Right now there are legal battles being prepared against the prosecution for interfering with an election process. These preparations will at least stall the court way longer than the close of the 2024 election.
As you say, this kind of thing hasn't happened before... criminally convicting a sitting President. It might take a new Amendment to for the minority to get Trump out. But the majority might see to it that Trump stays
IN through the new Amendment.
Besides, the prosecution might simply be fumbling for something to make Trump look bad. Trump could counter indict and totally destroy the court and its officers for messing with the court rules.
