The MAGA politicians are reinforcing the belief in Trump that he is above the law. If this SOB had been arrested on January 21, 2021 and we would not be in this quagmire.
What their analysis fails to consider is that the crimes he is alleged to have committed were committed in order to get elected. After the pussy-grabbing incident, he realized that the revelations about the Playmate and the porn star would damage his electoral chances to the extent that he was willing to pay hundreds of thousands to conceal it.

Something akin to the George Santos saga. The GOP doesn't care what the particular candidate did as long as they can get elected. That's why I said the GOP should be ended. To them it's all about getting in office to be in power by any means necessary.

Why was Nixon so desperate for a pardon? Because a few weeks before the 1968 election, at the direction of Nixon, one of his fascist underlings, perhaps Haldeman or Erlichman contacted Vietnam President Thieu and convinced him that if he walked away from the Paris Peace talks, Nixon would win the election and Thieu would get a way better deal with the North than he would from Humphrey. That is treason. Nixon knew it, LBJ new it went down, Everett Dirksen knew it from LBJ, they all knew it. Nixon knew he was going to be guilty in the impeachment trial so he cut this deal with Ford...to avoid being convicted of a hanging offense.

Trump would have been the number two criminally indicted ex-President.

Treason: Nixon undermined the Paris Peace talks.
