I think they meant not run the first time? As in: he doesn’t run, and therefore doesn’t get elected, so he stays away from the spotlight and can, relatively, quietly live his life with his foot in his mouth at every turn, but nobody cares because he’s a D list celebrity.
And of course, not being the president, he has no access to half of the shit he’s dealing with federally. I feel like the state stuff in NY was a pretty long time coming, but the federal stuff could’ve been avoided had he lost or not ran in 2016.
I don’t even know what a world like that would look like, but I’m sure it would’ve been better than the four years we had of him.

Clinton would have been out of office for more than a year when the invasion started and the Democrats would have a stain on their record that would have made it much harder to fight whichever Republican fascist (but I repeat myself) was currently in charge.
Oh no, I agree with you. I was just making a joke. From what I understand he never really wanted to run for president in the first place, and was surprised he won. Honestly his business might have continued as it was, fraud and everything, if he had never done that plus all the other crazy stuff he did.
I’ve very glad he’s getting what’s coming to him. I mean he brought this on himself.
I think they mean for the first presidency. Had he not run for president and won via the electoral college, he never would’ve been in a position to commit a lot of the crimes he’s in trouble for.

He might have maybe still been persecuted but the feds and everyone involved would have taken their sweet time investigating potentially a few more years since he’s still an ex president. Officially convicting him makes the office look bad and could potentially turn ugly with the MAGA supporters. Nobody wants jan6 2.0 and they very well might have been happy to let him fade into obscurity if that was deemed the best strategy to avoid civil unrest as a whole. Him putting himself in the spotlight again lit a fire under everyones ass and accelerated things drastically.
Respectfully, I hope you are wrong.
If not running was all it took not to be prosecuted then, to me, that says this is indeed a political prosecution and not about the rule of law.

President Hillary Clinton would be fully supporting Ukraine as House Republicans desperately searched for any excuse to launch their fifth impeachment
Clinton would have been out of office for more than a year when the invasion started and the Democrats would have a stain on their record that would have made it much harder to fight whichever Republican fascist (but I repeat myself) was currently in charge.
Out of office? Nah, re-elected
When you run for president, you get the spotlight, but you also get a magnifying glass…
And in THAT mixed metaphor:
as president he had access to much higher level criming, which is why he is now in the trouble he is in.

Good catch yes that is what I meant
