I'm really conflicted on this.
Much as I'd like to have this over with, it's never going to REALLY be permanently over with unless and until this guy is made an example of, AND we close the legal loopholes that he exploited, as well as the qualification loopholes that even gave him the opportunity.
Realistically ... is all that going to happen, even eventually? I kind of doubt it.
So it probably comes down to how much damage it does to the republic to drag this out, IF Trump could be enticed to resign and we don't take that opportunity.
I don't pretend to know the answer. I know what works for me personally: get him out of the daily news cycle. Tie immunity to TWO things: resignation, and a total media embargo on him for the rest of his life. Because if he leaves office he will just go on TV or Brietbart or something and continue to stimulate the alt right nutjobs.
I think I just talked myself out of any offers of clemency ...
