Really ask yourself.[/quote]
Nope. This guy’s literally like “any other defendant with these facts should do a quick plea bargain but because he was president..

How is it an "institutional norm?"  How many former Presidents ran for office under such a massive and ongoing legal cloud?

Yoo is full of crap.[/quote]

The institutional norms were that presidents were not by and large habitual criminals. 
Nixon resigned, spending his last night in office praying with Billy Graham I believe. He kept quiet for a very long time afterward. 
Clinton was impeached just once
Harding died before he could be implicated in the scandals within his administration
Johnson (Andrew) was impeached just once
U.S. Grant was never directly implicated in corruption involving his administration
Reagan was a potential target with Iran-Contra, but Ollie got all the attention and Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimers (and likely already affected by it while President) not long after

Trump has always been about "getting away with it" because he's a "star"
[/quote]

And none of them - Nixon, Clinton, Harding, etc came back to run again saying "hey you can't prosecute because I used to be President!"  Not a one.

Sorry, Yoo.  It is not an institutional norm.   The right needs to stop fabricating utter bullshit to defend Trump.[/quote]

“If you drop out of the race, Mr.Trump, things will go much better for you”[/quote]

Nobody has said that.  In fact, most pundits agree that the best way out for Trump is to become president and make these charges go away.  [/quote]
Rachel Maddow did[/quote]
She’s not a lawyer, and multiple lawyers have said that strategy would make the prosecution political and prove the RWNJs point. However, she is an expert on Spiro Agnew who was in a similar situation and I think the plea Agnew agreed to included an agreement like this.[/quote]

That makes it A-OK[/quote]
It makes it precedent, a precedent that is worth pointing out but would not be worth repeating in this case.[/quote]

That makes it political[/quote]

It isn't political. Political is that Trump won't be held without bond, as others recently charged with identical crimes were. Political is that we won't be perp-walked or have a mug shot. He is getting special treatment. Anyone else would have been charged last year at this time. [/quote]
