What does being before or after the election changes really? It’s not like he can just cancel a criminal investigation into himself lol that would be a level of corruption way too fucking obvious even for the stupidest of conservative. Right?
If there was illegal activities, so be it. Man up and own it. Stop saying this is political on social medias. It doesn’t matter. Nobody can change a thing about it. All he does is rile up his cult and might lead to violence. Why would a president would do that? That’s dangerously anti-democratic and prone to more charges. No?

This is exactly what he’ll do, and his supporters will go along with it 100%.
He wouldn’t even have to instruct the Justice Department in any way. He’d just give himself a blanket pardon, and the sane people will for some reason be caught off guard by this, and stand around scratching their heads, saying, “Wait … can he do that?” while he just goes on to do even worse things.
Yes, the system is flawed. Yes, Republicans have embraced corruption, and their voters are accepting it due to the combination of the culture war and their perception that if someone doesn’t display shame or remorse, they must have done nothing wrong. The Republicans in the US Senate declared in Trump’s impeachment trial that the President is above the law as long as the Senate says so.
I don’t know how our country will continue to function when the system of checks and balances has completely failed. We are on a very dark road right now.

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that the right-wing cares about democracy or law
The prosecuting attorney can drop charges whenever they want to. If trump gets elected, he becomes the prosecuting attorney’s boss.
But then that means the system is flawed, no?
Becoming president should not make you automatically immune to consequences of your criminal activities
I’m confused, this is straight up corruption. Nothing less. And Republicans are fine with this?
