If prosecuting those who knowingly flout the law, behave as if they were legally entitled to act as dictator, and as if the laws of the land, including international treaties, simply don't apply to them, if prosecuting such people would not do much good, then stick a fork in the American Experiment in Rule of Law; it's done.
"what kind of precedent would it be for incoming administrations to arrest and prosecute the old one when a new party takes power. I owuld only like to see some sort of prosecution if it is done by republicans as well as democrats."
Hey, I've got a fresh idea here: I would only like to see prosecutions if they are for actual, significant crimes, and conducted according to law, how about that?
And no, a pompino doesn't count.
