Will new POTUS rethink whether to prosecute Trump?

By JOHN KANELIS / johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com

President-elect Biden is on record saying he has no interest in pursuing federal charges against his immediate predecessor once he leaves office.

Now we hear from the Georgia secretary of state declaring that Donald Trump might have violated federal law by pressuring him to find 11,000 votes to flip so that Trump could put Georgia in the “win” column from the 2020 election.

I believe they call it election tampering, yes?

Secretary of state Ben Raffensperger — a Republican — doesn’t say he wants Trump to be prosecuted, but that he well might face scrutiny from the Justice Department.

The recording of the phone call aired over the weekend suggests Trump was intent on strong-arming Georgia to flip the outcome. Federal statute specifically prohibits such chicanery. No one is above the law, correct? That means the POTUS can be prosecuted if he violates the law.

The phone call is about as “perfect” as the call Trump made to the Ukraine president to solicit dirt on Joe Biden.

Yep, the lame-duck president of the United States is out of control and out of his mind.

I now am wondering if the new president should be rethinking the notion of forgoing a federal probe into this latest criminal act by the current president.
