7. If It Can Be Proven That A Person's Intention Was To Be Corrupt From The Start And In The End.....

that person would save everybody's ass so they can't be held accountable - than that is just like premeditated murder. That is out and out obstruction of justice and that person as well as all their accomplices need to be held accountable.

We need to stop making excuses for the behavior of this person over the last 4 years and put on our big boy pants and make sure that this can never ever happen again.

If we don't do that - we deserve what we have coming.

Plain and simple.

We can't sit back and say - whew - we've dodged a bullet and Trump is gone so we can look the other way now.

No - we all know that he's planning ways to either retain his power or get back into power to complete his act of destruction on this democracy. He's had a taste of what he can get away with and like a rabid killer of a dog - will be back to inflict more damage to us. He can't get that taste out of his mouth. He's sick and like Arnold - he'll be back - if in fact he's never intended to leave us in the first place.
