There certainly IS a recurring pattern, and that's that Presidents can commit any crime they like with no repercussions. That's a very bad precedent. It all starts with that Justice Department memo that says you can't indict a sitting President. Not a law or Supreme Court ruling. Just a memo. That has to go. All it should take is another memo.

And hanging Trump would be a very bad idea, but it does have the benefit of no future President being able to pardon him. I would be happy with him being confined to the Mar-A-Lago federal prison, after the government confiscates all his ill-gotten gains past and future including that property. Then any future "contributions" would go right in the federal treasury. He should be permitted visitations by his immediate family members and that's it. No communications. But just confiscating all his money and invoking the 14th amendment so he can never run would be enough.

Educating anyone benefits everyone.
