Guilty? Innocent? Jail time?

Obvious witch hunt.

Guilty but he'll get a slap on the wrist and nothing will come of it.

All I'm saying is it sets a really bad precedent for a government to jail a political candidate months before an election...

Allowing criminals to go free just because they're running for public office sets a far worse precedent...

What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

And allowing criminals to continue being sitting presidents is even worse.

I don't see how that's relevant to our discussion.

True, action should have been taken while he was still president.

Trump has not been found guilty (yet) therefore he cannot be called a criminal (yet) therefore your argument is irrelevant, and calling for jail time and his disqualification, based on accusations alone, goes against his constitutional rights.

> True, action should have been taken while he was still president.
This would have set a precedent to take action against former, current and future presidents, such as Obama, Biden and Bush, who have been accused of war crimes and other felonies, but not necessarily been proven guilty. Would you be OK with that?

Why, it's not like someone hasn't ran for president behind bars before

Follow the chain of replies and you'll find that no one is suggesting locking anyone up prior to being found guilty. As for setting precedent for future presidents (not sure how we can refer to someone who is no longer president as a sitting president, so I'll ignore the former presidents remark) that is a good thing. If any president, current or future, commits a crime while in office, they should face punishment just like any other person should. Why would you believe that I would think otherwise?
