Jeff JarvisNo, NYTimes, the taboo that has been broken is not indicting a former president; it is a president who committed countless crimes against democracy while in office. You have this backwards.
myrmepropagandist... Bush? Nixon?
@futurebird
Yes, the actual taboo has been broken before.

Packy Anderson@jeffjarvis @futurebird Believe me, if Republicans could have found evidence of a Democratic president engaging in criminal activity, they would have broken this "taboo" long ago.
British Tech Guru@britishtechguru @jeffjarvis @futurebird Oh, yeah. They tried mightily to find something to indict Clinton for. The best they could do was perjury over having an affair with Lewinsky.
@britishtechguru @jeffjarvis @futurebird And yet they didn't do diddlysquat with it, because they knew it wouldn't pass the smell test with a jury.
Trump’s legal troubles are just beginning. His decades of criminal behavior are finally catching up with him. He's made himself enough of a pain that people are finally willing to deal with his "offense is the best defense" method of intimidating prosecutors.
@packy @jeffjarvis @futurebird I'd say he's so old and creaky there's nothing really to be gained by a prosecution. Stormy Daniels is pretty much a nothing.
