Can someone who knows much more about it than I (anyone, basically) confirm or refute that Trump being referred to the DOJ on charges of inciting to insurrection and election fraud etc is enough to ban him from running in 2024? If there is an indictment against him, does that preclude him from being considered, or does it have to be a conviction? And if the latter, can you realistically run with a federal indictment hanging over you? I just wonder if it will make any difference or is it just window-dressing again?

Legally speaking, I think Trump can run even if he's behind bars. That's what Socialist Eugene Debs did in the 1920 election. Of course, if he's actually elected, I don't know if Trump would get to run things from prison or he'd have to wear an orange jumpsuit in the White House.

The insurrection charge, if convicted, would be the only charge that would ban him from running.

They were discussing this on NPR this morning and had a lawyer on to verify.

The fact that he wasn't given a show trial and executed as quickly as possible is pretty disheartening.

That is ****ing crazy! So even if he's - no, hold on: someone definitely said a convicted felon could not run for the office of POTUS. I suppose his acolytes would just have another insurrection to bust him out of prison. Even if somehow he dies, I bet they elect the ghost of Trump as a sort of "shadow president". What a world.

The Nuremberg trials were basically show trials and nobody cares.
