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.

France prosecuted and convicted former president Nicolas Sarkozy for corruption in 2021, he even got sentenced to jail. France didn't collapse, it barely made the news elsewhere.

In democracies, it is 100% normal to prosecute presidents if there's good evidence they broke the law.
