I think they're very scared to put President's in jail since that just opens up constant prosecution and jailing for vendetta.

Also the thing is with a country being this divided.. how would you convict him in court? Like New York is very liberal but 1 trump guy on a jury hung the jury on a trial with clear evidence and they have to try him all over again.

But I don't think everyone else gets a get out of jail free card.

So Donnie Jr. Eric, Ivanka, and all the other lunatics might get indicted.

Ofcourse its easier to just leave the Union and that's what we should try to do like Scotland and Ireland are trying to do with Great Britain.
Even if Trump doesn't get indicted, there are scores of others that should be.

He will definitely be indicted and his decision to run again won't matter. Honestly he will probably be indicted multiple times.
Why won't it matter? There is nothing that says that an indictment will prevent him from running. If he wins he will just order the DOJ to drop any charges, and I won't count Trump out even if under indictment for sedition. Politics have gone crazy and it is basically impossible to predict what will happen in the next 2 years.

Right, an indictment won't stop him from running. In fact I think the primary reason he will announce his candidacy will be an attempt to avoid indictment. He won't win even the Republican primary IMO.

If he wins he will just order the DOJ to drop any charges, and I won't count Trump out even if under indictment for sedition. Politics have gone crazy and it is basically impossible to predict what will happen in the next 2 years.
Yes, if he somehow won again he would be immune from prosecution. So? When I said it won't matter I meant him declaring his candidacy will not save him from indictment. If anything I think he has the calculus backwards that it increases his odds of indictment.

Trump announcing his candidacy publicly adds to the list of reasons why the current DoJ will not indict him. It won't be "THE" reason, but it will be "A" reason. It will be evaluated against existing DoJ policy of avoiding prosecutions during an active political cycle.

I think the exact opposite - it will push them to prosecute.

Talk about a nothing burger of a news article. "I've decided on when to announce my decision to run but I won't say anything just yet"
All he wants is to remain relevant. Only if media would just stop talking about him

I mean it would be kind of a weird thought process to not prosecute the former president for attempting a coup out of concern that he might be the president again. (And would presumably attempt more coups)
Weird thought process is what Washington DC does. I think Trump learned his lesson.

This is all rational and all but Merrick Garland has not shown he is willing to be rational all the time.

I mean, you're not wrong, but it's also kind of a weird thought process in an impeachment proceeding to effectively perform a jury nullification, à la "we know he did these things, we just don't care."
