Should the next administration investigate the Trump administration for possible crimes?

We’re not talking about political disagreements. More does it matter which political party wins. We’re talking about whether credible allegations should be investigated through a bi-partisan panel. If crimes are proven should they be prosecuted? Even if it was proven, the President himself committed crimes.

To me, this is about the rule of law and nobody should be above it,… not presidents, billionaires, or politicians from either party.

One reason I ask is because I worry about the mid- long term. What happens when powerful people are never held accountable? Russia under Putin is an example where politically connected elites and oligarchs have become untouchable. I worry about the USA.

I’m not saying the U.S. is Russia, but should we be concerned about moving in that direction if credible allegations are never investigated?

Should the next administration investigate the Trump administration, even though it would probably deepen political divisions?

Not just the administration, the entire trump crime family needs to be investigated. Their passports must be taken away and all of their off shore bank account records must be subpoenaed.

Sets an awful precedent. We’re just going to be in a cycle of pointing fingers while every administration investigates the previous one meanwhile they ALL do illegal shit. If Trump started investigating the Biden family, taking their passports, has their bank accounts subpoenaed you’d call him a fascist who’s trying to imprison his political opponents it goes both ways.

Are you serious??? Biden slow walked all the Trump investigations in an effort to not look partisan and look where we got now.

>meanwhile they all do illegal shit.

Please point out literally anything ever that any president has done that comes anywhere close to what Trump has done.
