“If it is a good idea to impeach and try former presidents, what about former Democratic presidents when Republicans get the majority in 2022?”

Sure. Great idea. Do Trump now and in 2022 go after other former presidents that did something illegal. If anything that should gain even more support on both sides, because everyone wants justice right?

Or are republicans up for some quid pro quo, let us break the law and we'll let you break the law???

If they knew that any former president did something illegal and didn't do a thing to take them to Justice and be judged, then they are partners in crime.

So then, they should also be impeached and hindered to occupy any public/politic charge in the future.

Otherwise it is an invitation to look aside and do nothing, which in the end will pave the road for burglars.

People really want that slag "representing" them?

Trump is gone and I thought that myself and the rest of the world would no longer need to laugh at America. Then I see this thread and now we are all like

How is that a threat? Biden doesn't get to preach terrorism in his last days in office either, so of course he's going to be impeached when he pulls something like that.

If I was Cornyn, though, I'd be worried about ever getting re - elected. Fox brainwashing only goes so far,and I don't think most want to re-elect a party that excuses or even endorses American terrorism.

Besides... How is this still relevant? It was Trump putting this bipartisan bullshit on the agenda all the time. It's time to fight covid, damnit.

Whether it is or not, I say go for it.

Agenda or no, it's essentially precedent that no president shall be tried as the defendant in a court of law for the remainder of their natural life.

Just because something has never happened, doesn't mean it's a precedent.

Apart from it being pointless impeaching someone who has died, he would also not receive a fair trial as he wouldn't be able to mount a defence.
