   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.

     Presidents, above all others, SHOULD be first to be subject to the law!

     @rbreich The dangerous precedent is electing a criminal to the office in the first place. Well we can go back farther to not throwing Trump in prison in the 80's. But likely even farther back than that for not throwing Trumps dad in prison in the 50's.
