I still hear people arguing that prosecuting a former president sets a “dangerous precedent.”

The truly dangerous precedent would be to establish that presidents are above the law.

@rbreich Many of the people who make that argument live in a post-truth world. To them there are no facts: Democrats say this, Republicans say that, it would be a violation of neutrality and journalistic ethics to take sides. Since there is no truth and Trump's supporters say the prosecution of him is political, that in their minds would justify jailing of Democrats if the GOP to gains power, no evidence needed because evidence is about what is true and there is no truth, only spin.

@not2b @rbreich

Because Republicans don't believe in facts or truth or law, they only believe in political prosecution for the sake of power. They do it, and they believe the others are the same as them.
