    That’s all well and good but he’s being prosecuted for something that he did while he was still president

        According to what OP quoted a former president can be prosecuted. I’d like to see them rule that the law applies to actions committed by a president

      He’s being prosecuted for doing something illegal (allegedly) that wasn’t part of his official duties as President.

        The ruling quoted by the oedon I replied to applies to things done by a former president…I’d like to see the courts role that the law applies to a current president, or someone who was president at a time. It seems like common sense but the law doesn’t operate on common sense

      So, you’re saying you think it should be legal for Biden to shoot you in the face?

        No, I’m saying I want the ruling to be relevant to Trump’s situation so he can be prosecuted. Where the fuck are you getting that from?
