The President Faces A Legal Minefield Once Out Of Office. (That’s Why He Wants To Stay So Bad)
“For four years, Trump has benefited from the de facto immunity from prosecution that all presidents enjoy while in office. But that cloak will pass to Joe Biden when he’s sworn in on Jan. 20, leaving Trump out in the legal cold.
”Clearly, the president enjoyed immunity when he was in office,” said Danya Perry, a former state and federal prosecutor in New York. “And it’s possible, as a matter of law, that he could be indicted on Jan. 21.””
The President has basked in the peace of mind of being immune from prosecution as President of the United States. He cannot believe the impenetrable wall that he is surrounded by will disappear in 2 months and a whole new chapter will start. Strapped for cash, he may have to go back to the same banks to whom he owes a lot of money and ask for more loans. Not exactly an enviable position to be in the day one exits the Oval Office. Much will depend on his ability to capitalize on the Trump name that has a steadfast, if not wealthy, supremely devoted following.
