This is the type of pointless JAQing off/sealioning that I cautioned you against previously. This is a warning for failure to follow moderator instructions.

> I don’t. “If they do so,and can convince a jury, then kudos to them.” was an expression of indifference, not support. Quite honestly, I’d prefer to see the tradition that “the US does not go after or try to prosecute previous administrations” remain intact, but it’s a fairly mild preference, and the desire to see President Trump prosecuted currently exists only as a masturbatory fantasy in the minds of the far left, so at present I don’t see much point in arguing about that desire.

This too could be violative of our rule against sexualizing posters and their arguments, though I will not give you two warnings at once. If not for the above warning, this would also be a warning as well.
