It's different if the person you are indicting has a real shot of winning the presidency and if the incumbent president is accused of a very similar albeit seemingly less serious thing.
DeSantis or any President could for Federal crimes and there would be nothing anyone could do about it, State stuff is a different matter thoughThat's amazing.
On a serious note, before I went to work earlier, i read a very long thread from a legal expert. They apparently worked for the DoJ and still practice law. I've tried to find the thread but can't as it wasn't an account I've seen before, nor follow and I didn't like any of the Tweets in the thread.
Basically, the author said that this could go on for a very long time and possibly, well after the next election, for various reasons.
The one thing that is worrying me about that and wasn't mentioned in the thread is, would Trump still be allowed to run for President? And say he was and won, could he not pardon himself? I know it was discussed a lot during his Presidency after rumours circulated that he was going to pardon himself if he was charged or convicted of anything back then, but I can only remember that most couldn't answer the question or were unsure as it has never been done before.
Or another scenario, say DeSantis (or any other Republican) won if Trump couldn't run, then could they pardon Trump?
After all the excitement of the indictment those questions are niggling away at me.
Aside from that, they all seem to be missing the big point the GOP used to chant out, you can't charge a sitting presidenti find it amazing how this has been able to stick with alot of people even though its entirely untrue. Nuance is a bitch

I don't think it would be a given TBHYeah I know the State stuff is different and he can't be pardoned, but these are Federal charges aren't they?
Yeah, I can smell a pardon coming.... If he or another Republican gets in that is.
Don’t rule out Trump being convicted and sentenced to prison, Biden winning reelection, and then Biden pardoning Trump as an olive branch. Biden is just the sort of deluded politician who would think this gesture would suddenly make the MAGAts sane again.Yeah I know the State stuff is different and he can't be pardoned, but these are Federal charges aren't they?

Bingo!
Bingo!
White text?The charges aren't too heavy, I reckon he'll be exonerated.
Bingo!
Not Trump fan in any way but this is farcical. You indict a president for treason and spying or espionage of the highest order. You dont just indict them for mishandling a document.
And then someone pulls of his mask Scooby Doo style and it turns out he's actually Karl Rove.Biden should pardon him.

I think the president shouldnt be able to pardon people at all since it undermines the justice system. He can have his day in court and if he's guilty he is punished. Pardoning people is for medieval kings (or the 21th century Dutch king). Weirdly archaic power if you ask me.It wasn't a joke suggestion. He's going to get pardoned anyway, and it rips the sting out of his/republican sails and gives him the assumption of guilt, whilst leaving him open to the more dangerous indictments.

Not a chance, nil, nada.
