This country will never, ever prosecute a president because it would set a precedent of holding our politicians accountable. Ain't happening. We've all been watching Pelosi do insider trading for decades.
-
Except he's already been prosecuted and found guilty. This is the sentencing. Now the question is will New York state sentence and imprison him before he takes office.
-
He’s just not going to show up and will stay in FL till after inauguration. If you think they’re going to hold politicians to the same standard as you and me you’re incredibly naïve.
-
It's gonna be interesting because we are clearly at a level of manipulation where the sheer act of being held accountable will 100% be called persecution. From here on out any attempt to hold a politician accountable will be met with resistance and end up being theatre.

As reprehensible as it is morally, Congresscritters can STILL legally trade based on their insider info they get from their Congresscritter jobs. So there's really no crime to prosecute. There SHIOULD be, but there isn't.

Politicians doing insider trading is not limited to Pelosi, and somehow not illegal. At least Congress has more ethics standards than courts, but it’s an extremely low bar and unreasonable to be held to such lower standard than the rest of us
-
The "somehow" isn't a big leap... The people who would have to outlaw it are the exact ones benefitting from the broken status quo, same as it ever was.

Insider trading is actually legal for congress though. You're point is valid for systemic issues but this specific one boils down to the individuals involved. There is no precedent for this, no one can really say the judge did anything improper. It would likely be a boon for the governor in a blue state and who knows the DA ambitions.
I'm mostly making counterpoints than a prediction though. I still don't think anything major will happen.

Yes, the second most pressing concern in everyone’s lives after a second Trump term—Nancy Pelosi’s husband
-
No one is saying that. It's just blatant corruption in front of the entire country for everyone to see.
-
Hey, you drew the comparison. The whole world of corrupt US politicians to choose from. Don’t like the conclusion people draw when they read exactly what you’ve written? Just write something else lol

I'm concerned about Pelosi's husband! Didn't he get attacked by a dude with a hammer? I wouldn't wish that on anyone
