"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" he said, referring to the major street in New York City that cuts through Manhattan's large commercial district. "It's, like, incredible." (Trump)
Trump's election victory means that the Justice Department’s longstanding position that a sitting president cannot be charged with a crime will apply to Trump after he takes office on Jan. 20. "That prohibition is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands fully behind," Smith’s office wrote in Monday’s filing.

34 Felonies later, a planned insurrection, rapist, fraud. His voters pretending then, as they do now, that any intention of and by Trump is innocent is hyperbole, it is just Trump being Trump.
