It would be hard to get a conviction, and it would be terrible precedent (even if the asshole Democrats did it) to go after a former President.
At Obama's level, it is all policy directives, not direct actions. I am fairly sure he's smart enough not to leave evidence of a direction to commit a crime.
I used to feel the same way but this is the first time we've seen an administration truly try to prevent the peaceful transition of power. I'm not expecting them to be able to produce evidence against Soetero as he is quite slippery and insulated by several lower-levels in the chain but I don't for one second believe that Dems would be so conciliatory towards a Republican if the situation were reversed. This was/is sedition by the 'constitutional law professor'.
The precedent basically already exists thanks to Aaron Burr. He was the Vice President at one point, but he betrayed the nation and tried to steal Texas, then was outlawed here and fled to Europe.
Remember that godawful Will Smith version of Wild Wild West? It was exactly like that, except without the giant mechanical spider. That's what Aaron Burr actually planned to do, steal Texas with a militia and a legal loophole, then sell it off to the enemies of the United States.

Think you mean "the rest of the US". Michigan, NY, Washington, NJ already there

Agreed -- this too big for the fall guy peons to take
waterboard them with gasoline until they squeal
If we do it right, there will be no more traitorous demoKKKrats.
So there will be no need to go after former presidents.
In his case, he was not eligible to be president -- it was a scam. A hoax.
Therefore, it is okay to go after him.
Very sane comment.

How did he plan on bringing TX with him to Europe? There'd be an extra baggage charge on the plane for that!

Huh, in school history was nothing but the 13 original colonies and a few other wars. Never heard about this. Might have to read about this sometime
Lets be realistic. This happened 100 years before planes were invented.
I'm sorry but realism doesn't allow for stealing TX and bringing it to Europe
We need Looney tunes music for that, probably Daffy Duck moreso than Bugs Bunny
nuh-uh, that's clearly carry-on!!! I demand to speak with a maamager!!!
