    I’ll cut them some slack for a few reasons:

    1. Trump was President when he did this shit and charging a President, former or otherwise, is uncharted territory.

    2. My wife quotes the Wire all the time. “When you come at the king, you best not miss.” Not only is this uncharted, but nobody can run the risk of doing it wrong.

    3. This isn’t only about Trump, this is breaking new ground and setting precedent for posterity. Generations are watching what is transpiring here. This will be taught in history lessons and law schools from now on.

    So, yeah, no pressure.

        Yeah, I’m pretty sure that charge was mostly in good humor, wheras attempting to overturn Democracy is kind of serious. :)

      Those are good reasons and you won’t see me arguing against them.

      Still doesn’t change my initial gut feeling, as shared in my top-level comment.
