I have a very serious question here. Has impeachment taught us the past 2 years that the only thing you have to do to get away with any crime is declare yourself a Presidential candidate of the opposing party of who is in office?
Ive been thinking about this on a serious basis because of the absurd circumstances we find ourselves in as a nation. If the FBI or any alphabet agency is investigating me from crimes overseas, domestically or internationally is the answer to declare myself a Presidential candidate of the opposing and threaten the sitting President with obstructing my campaign or investigating political opponents?
Is that not the crux of where we are? An organized crime family with former political office holders is being accused of X, Y and Z and a government they did business with is being asked whats going on.
The answer then to stop the investigation has been, Hey, someone in that family is running for President! Youre investigating a political opponent and asking for foreign help to win an election!
Well now, we have precedent dont we? If accused of anything, declare you or someone in your family a Presidential candidate as a defense.

Bingo!
I think what is happening is the House of Representatives wants themselves to be the President. Period.
The Clintons started this to get out of being prosecuted for Mena and Whitewater. After they got elected (remember they were a team?), Clinton replaced all the US attorneys in order to cover for the ones in Kansas City who were after him.
I think as long as you are a politician on foreign soil, you are now permitted to commit any crimes you want without repercussions.
YOUR side of the political aisle will defend and cover for you. And the other side of the political aisle won’t be able to investigate or ask for investigations into you.
So YES. Go to a corrupt country that won’t charge you themselves, engage in corruption, make a boatload of cash, and you should be good to go.
You only get off if you’re a Democrat.
Donald Trump is running for office, hasnt committed a crime and yet, its okay for HIM to be investigated and tried...
Why NOT Biden or anybody???
No crime was committed.
Clearly as President you can commit No crimes and be charged with High Crimes
I’ve drawn the same conclusion regarding Biden. It’s rather obvious why he is running.
We just might see more and more criminals run for office using this Dem logic.
I found myself laughing out loud as I typed those last two words
According to Dershowitz, yes.
And if a president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment.
