(26,494 posts)nothing special about a nation that allows itself to be extorted by a criminal. People here love to claim "no one is above the law!". Yeah, we know it's bullshit. But for once it'd be nice if we actually practiced what we preach. There is nothing in the constitution that allows a chief executive to commit crimes with impunity. Only cowardice from successive administrations because they fear that the next guy will do it to them.
We used to have a Justice Department in this country. And somebody, no matter who that somebody is. Is found to have committed criminal acts. Let the chips fall where they may.
Sure, this prick is not going to jail. At least I'm 97% sure he's not. But there's no need to make excuses and rationalizations for unjust bullshit.
