Trump didn’t even try and hide his crimes. He thinks being rich means he can do whatever he wants.
Now, why wasn’t Bush charged with any crimes? For the same reason nothing will happen to Putin in Russia.

Well he’s been at it since the 80s and so far it’s been the only thing he’s ever been mostly right about for an extended period…

Trump is being charged with crimes
Not for dropping bombs or ordering drone strikes in a different country.
Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 9 months ago
As criminals should.

Trump is being charged by the US and state governments with violation of US and state laws
That’s a far different scenario than an international court attempting to charge and arrest a US president (current or former

Bush lied to congress and the American people. I don’t believe there were no crimes committed by doing that.

But did Bush knowingly lie to a degree provable in court?
He would have had to have known it was a lie and for that to be proven in court. With trump, his crimes were so egregious there were devout party line adherents backing out and explicitly stating just how illegal what they were doing is. Trump had been told multiple times, in multiple ways that what he was doing was illegal and he went for it anyways.

Another point to add. It is not illegal for anyone to lie, so unless he was testifying under oath, Bush could lie as much as he wanted without legal repercussions.

What are you going to do, arrest every president?
