Oh, but they are. Should they be? Hell no. But they are. A sitting president cannot be charged with any crimes. Of course trumpy boi isn’t a sitting president anymore, but they act like ex-presidents are completely sacred, regardless of how horribly they fucked the American people.
Edit: I think it’s mostly that those with the power to do something about it don’t want to set the precedent that they too can be held accountable for their actions. Once those floodgates are open, there’s no closing them again.
This is such a weird American concept. Presidents are not above other people!
