Prosecuting a sitting president is virtually impossible and a quagmire. The DOJ almost certainly cannot do it federally, and the states doing so would trigger a constitutional crisis. The FBI findings would not have criminally prosecuted him; they would have been used as a justification to impeach and remove him (and thereafter perhaps try him, though Pence would have probably pardoned).Jail for what exactly?
The guy got probed by the feds several times and nothing came out of it
So instead, you save your evidence and accusations for once they leave the office and no longer enjoy its protections. If he's guilty of state crimes, he's SOL. It's why people believe the SDNY has some shit on him - they would obviously wait for this.
A hearing, you mean. A few different hearings, one for the house and one for the senate. Do you remember Trump's testimony at his original Impeachment proceedings?You know there has to be a trial after articles of impeachment, right?
Right, he didn't give any. It doesn't matter. His office tried to stop admin officials from testifying, and they defied his requests.
They aren't going to retread the shit he was tried for before (though they could, since double jeopardy doesn't apply to political processes like impeachment); they're gonna use this shit from Nov. 3rd onwards.
If Mitch gets enough GOP votes in the senate, then 13 days is way way more time than you need.
