How do you feel about a former president being found guilty in court, and what does it say about accountability in politics?

I feel this has set a huge precedent, in some ways good, but also there is a negative connotation tied to this as well. Accountability is important, and if a person commits a crime they should be held accountable, regardless of their status or position of power.

It also felt less like an authentic criminal process and more about making points, *** for-tat as well as just having so many people who were sending out “flying monkeys” to really feel like it was in fact a fair trial vs loud arguing without many people being able to see the grey areas.

This is not a black and white issue…  Read more and has so much emotional and political charge to it that it feels heavy to discuss. It hurts me as a citizen and veteran to witness our country in such a state of turmoil. It is horrible that we are in this place regardless of individual political beliefs and regardless of crime and law. It feels heavy and like we are slipping further away from being the country that we can and deserve to be.

It’s a sham, the judge coerced the jurors to convict, all of the evidence was from people who have lied under oath and convicted of other crimes.

There is a lot of history and guilt to be unpacked from just that headline.

I believe that all of the Presidents from the last 30 years should be in jail for war crimes, so it's disappointing that when we finally got one it was because of something ultimately negligible like this. I sometimes get why the far-right complains about it being a "witch hunt," because ultimately they're all criminals anyway.
