If, at least in theory, no one is "above" the law (oh that it was so!), why should someone get a 4-to-8-year time out from it, along with a ticking clock on statute of limitations for a criminal act committed prior to said time out? Might not ever put the fear of God into a sitting president, but a little bit of fear of being prosecuted for a crime might be a good thing. Obviously, we can in no way depend on Congress to solve the problem of a criminal continuing to hold the highest office in the land.
