Poll: Nearly 70 percent of Americans say sitting president should be subject to criminal charges

[morgan]

Here's a poll:

Why do Liberals think the president of the untied states and any other republican doesn't deserve the American right to be innocent and PROVEN guilty, and not the other way around?

A. Because they're stupid.
B. Because they're really F***ing stupid

That's what the investigation and the trial would do.

Wow you think?!?

And if he’s found innocent, do you think you’ll except that?

Educate me...isn't this what an impeachment inquiry would be about?

If there is an allegation of a crime, it should be investigated fairly. If evidence is insufficient to prove guilt beyond all reasonable doubt, the matter should be dismissed without prejudice - by all. If not, there should be criminal proceedings where a jury of unbiased peers weigh all evidence. If found guilty - punished accordingly. If found innocent - so be it.

No one is above the law.
No one should be treated differently.
Everyone is innocent until proven guilty - regardless of 'your' opinion.

Whether the evidence is sufficient to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt is supposed to be decided by the jury, not as a condition of trial...

Do you mean “accept”?

He can’t be found innocent, or guilty, because he can’t be charged and tried, that’s the point/problem, and the reason bob mueller got on tv to say that they are not confident he didn’t commit a crime but they can’t do anything about the crimes they think he committed except rely on congress to do their F***ing jobs.

No.

An impeachment is trial to decide whether to remove an official from office. Totally different than a criminal trial, though a successful impeachment could, in theory, lead to criminal charges if criminal activity was the basis of the impeachment (it doesn’t have to be).

Prosecutors and Grand Juries make that decision before a trial even starts.

They do not. Grand juries decide if there is enough evidence to indict. That is a much different threshold than beyond reasonable doubt, which is for the trial jury to decide.

Yes except. My apologies I voice text often because I’m still breast-feeding.
