[QUOTE="Laurie!, post: 410203, member: 2210"] I don't think that providing Ukraine with resources to defend itself is provocation. After all, Russia had already seized Crimea a few years prior. However, making an excuse that someone was provoked is only that...an excuse. A little like a rapist saying his victim provoked him with sexy clothes. I guess Trump is the only former President stupid enough or cocky enough to get caught paying hush money to a porn star. The Republicans certainly search high and low for any dirt on their counterparts. Even when they control the WH (so DOJ), Congress and Senate they haven't been able to get dirt big enough for trials for the most part. They couldn't even come up with justification to impeach Biden so how do you expect Biden to be criminally prosecuted? So, I guess we assume the Democrats and former Presidents aren't as crooked as Trump. One thing I will say, even Bill and Hilary had the guts to testify under oath and got grilled by Congress. Trump and his cronies on the other hand are cowards and simply ignore the subpoenas. They get away with it. The only assumption about President's being above the law is for cases that could be considered war crimes. After all, the senate or house (not sure and don't care) has to approve military invasions. Also, Trump committed war crimes by freeing Taliban prisoners that endangered US troops and allowed Turkey to slaughter the Kurds in Northern Syria. He didn't get charged for that. [/QUOTE]
