Even if he steps down, he could still be tried and convicted. Best of both worlds?

I'm not a vengeful person, but I can't help feel we need to make him an example for society: THIS IS NOT RIGHT, NOT NORMAL, NOT ACCEPTABLE.
-
Yeah, everyone deserves a fair trial. But also, his life and actions should serve as a cautionary tale to other would-be despots.
-
Doubt it. Too much money was made. Even if charged and tried, he'll be pardoned and richer than he was before. It will have been worth it.
-
So, in that regard, I do think his story will serve as a deterrent to anyone attempting to follow in his footsteps.

I really want to believe this, but I'm skeptical. It's a path to billion$. Some will walk it. It's up to the voting public to stop them.

I do hope that, as a nation, we've learned our lesson. Generationally, we didn't have many around who lived thru WWII.

Don't use the past tense yet. We have a deep dark forest to get through before we can look back and say, "We have something to learn here."

My favorite insane possibility: Flees the country. Just never comes back from a presidential trip.

Except, never gonna be convicted. Promise he gets pardoned by whoever is next.
-
Yeah, I know. Pence + Ryan + TurtleFace will make sure he walks away with no record, no prison, and billions of rubles.
-
I'm somewhat hopeful here. if Pence survives it won't be w/o cloud of the sort of suspicion that did not tarnish Ford.

The downside of that is that he'll try and go down like a martyr.
-
The great thing about that is that martyrs aren't self-made. They are martyred by surviving followers. He can't make it happen while alive!
-
At this point, I'm not putting anything past happening... How unrealistic or otherwise. And that's sad.

His successor is not any better. I prefer him over Pence. But I want all three convicted.

Whichever is fastest works for me. Someone on
@CNN said yesterday this could take a year. Hoping it precedes WWIII ...
