If he deserves it.( fair trail and all that.) I think it would send just the right message.

IMHO convicting The One — or Hillary! — of a crime would have to anticlimactic. You would need to make such a powerful PR case in favor of it that when it actually happened it would be a foregone conclusion. You would essentially have to delegitimate the Democrat Party as an entity in order to accomplish that.

And since at this point the Democrat “Party” is a creature of the MSM, your first step would have to be to persuade the public of the truth that although the MSM is free, its members are not independent. That, IOW, the public has been seduced into relying on publications which espouse a single, pseudo-objective, opinion. And considering that

The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing.

The man whom we believe is necessarily, in the things concerning which we believe him, our leader and director, and we look up to him with a certain degree of esteem and respect. But as from admiring other people we come to wish to be admired ourselves; so from being led and directed by other people we learn to wish to become ourselves leaders and directors.

. . . The desire of being believed, the desire of persuading, of leading and directing other people, seems to be one of the strongest of all our natural desires. - Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)

that case, although readily supported with facts and logic, is not easily embedded in the public consciousness.

Try to indict the last two nominees of the Democrat Party without first delegitimating the Democrat Party, and you got trouble. Right here in River City.
