we essentially have a ruler who is unanswerable to anyone or anything. How does that not mark the end of democracy? Trump will essentially be a king, and our election in 2020 (if there is one) will be wide open to every kind of fraud, manipulation, foreign interference and whatnot that it will have all the meaning of a Russian election.

I think we're completely up against the wall here.

Do you really think Trump will act magnanimously after acquittal?
