A President Governing from Behind Bars

 If Donald Trump should be elected president while serving time how will he be inaugurated? Will he be given a two-day pass so he can fly to Washington D.C. to take his oath before hurrying back to his cell. Or will Chief Justice Roberts hold the ceremony in the prison’s visitation room?

Will Mr. Trump draft his self-pardon on prison stationery or have his defense lawyer draw it up?
Will the president’s Secret Service unit be housed together with him or be stationed in the adjoining cell?
Tensions with Russia and China seem of little moment compared with these jaw dropping procedural issues.

Republicans Leap to Raise Clinton Email Controversy

 

Those who claim that Hillary Clinton was treated more favorably than Donald Trump, on the issue of mishandling classified documents, have their facts upside down. In reality, though Mrs. Clinton’s dereliction was far less serious or damaging to the national interest than Mr. Trump’s gross misuse and obstruction, the FBI’s politically fraught investigation and disclosures late in the 2016 election cycle surely cost Mrs. Clinton the presidency.
Given the plethora of evidence pointing to Mr. Trump’s criminality, it is neither surprising nor blameworthy that he has been investigated and publicly charged. What is troubling, and somewhat perplexing, is that voters rejected Mrs. Clinton notwithstanding her exoneration but now seem inclined to rally to Mr. Trump as the victim of his own misdeeds.

No less an authority on the importance of safeguarding classified documents than former President Donald Trump, pronounced the appropriate judgment for those who failed that obligation, they are unfit to be the president. Amen.
