    Do you think he will get away with obstruction of justice and planning the insurrection?

    It's hard to have faith in our government any more if they protect Presidents who do the unthinkable. If he does get away with it then it opens the doors for worse to come, especially if you can be a psychopathic liar and get away with it.. Trump is no better than Nixon, and was far worse than Clinton when it came to the crimes he has done.

    At the very least, he should be barred from running again.

    He could have been, and should have been, but his party didn't want that.

    A Watergate prosecutor on Saturday compared Donald Trump's missing January 6, 2021, phone logs to a minutes-long gap in one of Richard Nixon's calls related to the scandal that cost Nixon his presidency — and she concluded that Trump's case had the potential to be far more serious.

    "It is unlikely, even incredible, that no one called in to the president for 457 minutes during a crisis when he was in the White House," she wrote. "Even calls that go unanswered in the White House should be listed on official logs."

    Like she's going to say anything to incriminate the Trump mob anyway. She's been groomed by her daddy.

    Hard to be in person when you’re hiding in Russia.

    Really? This is laughably weak. Everybody who made it inside the Capitol that day knew that they were trespassing. That was the point.

    I guess a lawyer could play the my client is as dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks card. But ...

    Ignorance of the Law Is Not an Excuse

    If you are unaware you are breaking a law, should you be held accountable? In general, the law says yes.

    The legal principle of ignorantia juris non excusat (ignorance of the law excuses not) or ignorantia legis neminem excusat (ignorance of law excuses no one) is derived from Roman law. Essentially, it means that if someone breaks the law, he or she is still liable even if they had no knowledge of the law being broken.
