I’m not defending the guy or saying I agree, but there is already precedent of a Presidential Candidate running from prison: Socialist candidate Eugene Debs.
Yeah, there’s nothing keeping him from running from prison, and that’s probably the way it should be, otherwise you could just jail your political opponents when you don’t want them to win elections. But this guy has participated in an organized coup attempt essentially with his fake electors crap, and trying to get military personnel to step in. If you recall, he also started replacing top level military personnel after he lost, with the presumed intent of keeping himself in office. This goes way beyond the, I’m just your political opponent, and I should be able to run from prison if I want to.
Hey man, I agree. I’m just talking about precedent. Given how things went during Trump’s tenure, I see nothing suggesting anything will be different for Trump despite the nature of his crimes.
