I think it would set an extremely bad precedent if we made it that you can never arrest or try former presidents. Being able to try and hold the president to justice brings us closer to the national ideal of the president being a servant of the people, allowing them to act with legal impunity would bring us closer to the president being a dictator or a king.
I'm not saying that presidents should have a get out if jail free card. However the trials feel a lot like left vs right to me.
Then it’s clear you’ve either not paid any attention to the goings on the last 7 or 8 years, or you’re being disingenuous.
If it’s left vs right to you that implies to me you see it as
the left - justice and accountability
the right - grift, fascism, “fuck you i got mine”
