Skeletons in the Closet

[rightwinger]

It has been an unwritten rule that you don’t prosecute presidents after they leave office.

The most famous case was Ford pardoning Nixon
Reagan was given a free pass on Iran Contra
When Bush 43 left office, Obama refused to investigate 9-11, evidence for invading Iraq and official use of torture.

Now Trump seems intent on starting an investigation of Obama in preparation of the next election

Trump is setting a precedent for future presidents leaving office. Given the mountains of evidence he has been hiding for four years, he is setting himself up for a major fall.

So, Obama should be above the law? Obama just needs to shut up and show some class.

Yuppers ... Republicans are setting themselves up for a nasty fall the next Democrat administration ...

The next Democrat in office will be able to ignore any and all requests from Congress ...
... will be able to take appropriated money and spend it willy-nilly ...
... run up another $10 trillion in debt ...
... the list goes on ...

Time for the Feds to legalize marijuana ... we're going to need it ... ha ha ha ha ...

it does set a bad precedent. Now if only you understood how our government works and the fact that Trump can't prosecute anyone.

AG Barr won't prosecute Obama regardless of how guilty he is.

Yep, just like the "impeachment for political purposes" that the Democrats have set up.

You should ask Durham and/or Barr. Only they know for sure.

I’m ready to go there

Let’s abandon the precedent of making ex presidents immune from prosecution.

I am confident Obama will come out Scott free

Can you make the same statement about Trump?

That's what we have to find out fat lady.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Fortunately, future presidents will recognize the Trump aberration to be just that: an aberration – a mistake, a failure, and a lawless presidency devoid of merit.

"Scot-free" means without penalty. We do not know if Obama committed a crime yet. That's what we need to find out.

Let theminvestigate Obama. They will find nothing like Hillary’s e-mail, Benghazi, yada, Yada, yada. When the next president comes in they can then prosecute the myriad crimes and corruption of the Trump Administration. Yeah, let those morons open this Pandora’s box.

Having said that, once this Box is opened it will not be easily put back in its place. Prosecuting your predecessor is third world shit hole politics.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

There won’t be an ‘investigation,’ of course – the irony being that Trump’s argument that a president is ‘above the law’ and everything a president does is ‘legal’ can be applied to former presidents as well.

Or, if past presidents can be prosecuted for alleged crimes, so too can a sitting president.

No, this is just Trump trying to deflect from his failure to address the COVID-19 outbreak, along with his many other failures.

This is also just another ridiculous conspiracy theory propagated by Trump cult members and other rightists suffering from ODS.

Obama is a red herring to draw attention away from Trump and possibly embarrass Biden

But Trump removing previous protections available to previous Presidents will leave him open to future prosecution.

No amount of cries of victimization and people picking on him will protect him.

I welcome an investigation of Obama

Let’s do it
Open a four year old case on an ex President

Removes any expectation of protection that Trump May have next year when he leaves office

Do you disagree?

How so?
