Anything more than house arrest and you've created a martyr, and quite possibly, started an unofficial civil war. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

He would be pardoned by the current president. No president is going to let another president go to prison for anything less than murder. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

Perhaps, but wouldn't that send a bad message? "Yes, there are some people who are in fact above the law." |

Biden pardoning Donny? There is no universe in which this would happen. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I think the pardoning of any criminal is abhorrent and sets a bad example. Yet, every president does it. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |
