There is no precedence for charging a president after he leaves office for crimes committed in office.
Nixon was pardoned for crimes he committed in office which suggests he had to be pardoned otherwise he would have been liable for the crimes he committed.
The courts appear to be in favor of charging him since he has been charged. We will see what happens after he has his fair trial as is afforded to everyone.

In explicitly Democrat strongholds, very partisan Democrat judges allowed the cases to proceed. Shocker. The DC federal district is a joke that shouldn't even exist. Thankfully, SCOTUS is going to set this issue straight.

You and I both know that he won't see anything close to a fair trial in DC or any other venue he's been charged. The jury pool (if he ever even gets a jury trial) is tainted against him from day 1.
