Take a nap.
Still not getting it. My OP is not so much about Grant, as it is about the DOJ policy of not indicting a sitting President.
If Grant is willing to pay a speeding ticket fine without trying to bribe a cop, certainly Trump's behavior is way beyond a speeding ticket because he IS trying to bribe and or intimidate officials.
The DOJ policy isn't even a law, but a recommendation. That recommendation was not written in any part of the Constitution, not even as an amendment.
What is in the Constitution is the ability to impeach, and even the 25th Amendment.
Yes, a speeding ticket isn't a matter of national security. Never claimed it was, or should be. But Grant admitted his offense on something minor and didn't blame the cop for doing his job. Trump lies about everything even if small, and has lied about everything big too, and that makes him dangerous. Not because he won't leave office, he will. But his behavior while he was running and in office, sets a very dangerous long term tone for politics even after he leaves.
The next president that wants to do the same, but is not as bombastic, and is low key, is going to be far more dangerous.
