Plenty of other democracies have prosecuted their current or former leaders. Two former French presidents, Jacques Chirac and Nicolas Sarkozy, were convicted of corruption after their time in office. Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was found guilty of tax fraud in 2012 (though, over a decade later, was acquitted of several charges stemming from a 2010 sex-for-hire case). In South Korea, which has a long history of prosecuting its former leaders, former President Lee Myung-bak's 17-year jail sentence for corruption was cut short when he got a presidential pardon last year. The previous year, a court upheld a 20-year jail sentence for former President Park Geun-hye over the corruption scandal that led to her impeachment in 2017. Past presidents, while never indicted, have faced legal woes of their own PoliticsPast presidents, while never indicted, have faced legal woes of their own Argentina's current vice president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, was found guilty of corruption in December, in a case dating back to her time as president. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, now in his sixth term, is facing three corruption cases. And Brazil's president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, was reelected three years after he was released from prison on corruption charges. Closer to home, former President Richard Nixon resigned on the brink of impeachment in August 1974, only to receive a blanket pardon from his successor, Gerald Ford, a month later. Former President Bill Clinton was impeached in the fall of 1998 after he was accused of giving false testimony to a grand jury, but never faced prosecution. This the beginning of new political era for American politics, it will remind future president that they are not above the law. Someone commented on my post "Sajha is full of commie" and now they will start saying democrats are pedophiles because GOP are parroting that word.Some of them are feeling as if their uncle was indicted and may join one of the organization like "Proud Boys""KKK".

In USA democrats cannot be prosecuted and republicans don’t want to pay taxes. we are here to support both the party and that is why we chose to come here to pay taxes and work for them.

You made your choice and can not cry about it. Americans specially republicans think gun rights are their birth right and Trump was untouchable, he is indicted and history made.in future president who has done criminal act will be & can be held liable. Did you know who else were indicted. This path will not be altered for democrats.

Answering to this question."Did you know who else were indicted. This path will not be altered for democrats." Going by this saying that says 'Indictment only applies to criminal charges, but impeachment is the political equivalent of an indictment', isn't it that there were two other presidents that faced impeachment trials in history such as Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton (both democrats!!) besides Trump during their regimes? It's a different story that nobody got removed from their office in their ruling time though. I still like to believe that nobody is above the law here in US, it be a president or a peasant! Peace!

Trump is not indicated, it’s media brainwashed story. He is currently at his Trump Tower watching media brainwashing lefties by Trump clone and collecting evidences to prosecute Democrats on his next presidency. Thanks to polisci for gathering billion dollar evidence which shows how democrats made money from China. I know everyone wants to make money that is why they come to USA but def should not do it from China though. Last edited: 04-Apr-23 02:29 PM

I never ever imagined now the technology is so advanced that it can create AI generated images that they can very easily hoax the public. The following shots are enough to trick some good number of people unaware of what technology can do.
