Our justice system isn't designed to handle people like him, and as much as I think he should be held accountable IF IF IF IF IF IF IF he did anything wrong, I will also admit that any jury that is justifiably representative of the US population should have at least 2 or 3 people on it who would be more likely to believe that the Browns have won 57 straight super bowls than they would believe that Donald Trump could possibly do anything dishonest.
There is no "good" time to put a president on trial, which is why people still talk about and analyze the whole Nixon thing 50+ years later. When Trump did what he's accused of doing he was running for president, then he was president, then he was running for president, and next he will either be president or he will be running for president. I've asked a lot of people when the "right" time to bring charges against Trump would be, and the answer I seem to get it never, because you're never supposed to bring charges against someone who is president or running for president...I assume, I feel like for a lot of people that would only apply to Trump.
As a reasonable middle of the road viewer of this when would you have suggested they put Trump on trial? Opinions seem mixed on whether or not the president should have total immunity, but a lot of people seem to think that a president or presidential candidate should never be subject to a trial, so what is the difference?
I agree to a point, but that is the problem with DJT getting a fair trial. If he has a true sample of the nation's make up, he will have die hards who would never convict him no matter the blood on his hands, as well as die hards who would never admit his innocence, not matter how pristine the proof.
There is no good time, but there is better timing.
The timing of all of the charges brought on is questionable to me because they were brought at once, punishing him via the process and taking him away from campaigning, and Baron's thing that was super important... The trials are not being done in a bulletproof manner, so once they conclude, there will still be a divide.
I think where we share common ground is thinking this is a mess we will not be clear of for at least four more years that does the country no good on the world stage.
Hopefully, if DJT wins the presidency for a second time (I think he will due to a new voting block of Never Biden voters being out there, similar to the Never Trumpers emerging after his first term), he does not engage in weaponizing the FBI and DOJ like Biden is being accused of doing.
Hoping for the best, but not the most optimistic.
