(14,570 posts)for treason, massive corruption while in office, criminal activities, racketeering, and a host of other crimes, I never really felt like that would happen. Those who call the shots in this country wouldn't allow it because too many of them feel that while Trump definitely deserves it, to try and convict him as he deserves would set too dangerous a precedent.
Or something like that.
But going after his organization and draining its coffers, causing loans to be called in and so on - well, that won't quite be as satisfying as watching Trump perp-walked into a federal prison in an orange jumpsuit, it will be nearly as satisfying to see Trump and his disgusting children broke and bankrupt.
Can you imagine Ivanka, Eric and Don Jr. without the giant safety net of family wealth trying to make it like the rest of us? We would be looking at drug addiction, petty crime and all the rest of the horrible spiral down to rock bottom.
