Trump Acquitted
- Thread starter Inquire of God

Conviction can mean prohibiting the perp from
gaining federal office ever again. So we're in
luck....Trump could be elected Prez in 2024.
I guess it can just damage him and his party.

It is not double jeopardy in the legal sense since there never is any criminal justice applied as the outcome of an impeachment trial. The only possible negative results are removal from office and possible banning of ever holding political office again. Criminal justice was always meant to be applied separately.This is indeed a powerful tool of government, ie, that
he can be tried again in federal court, since the Senate
trial is irrelevant to the double jeopardy prohibition.
Moreover, states can prosecute, & tort litigants have
no limits whatsoever. They'll all be nipping at his heels
as long as he lives.
He sure stepped on his own roscoe, eh. But winning office
again in 2024 could bring some relief though. Let's hope.
I agree.

My question was rhetorical. The only punishment is removal from office. So, for Trump, the answer was: none.
I said, "I guess it can just damage him and his party."
surprised?
Yes, but the big difference is that in Canuckistan it is also illegal for the leaders to kill the citizens.
