My question about piety and petit was quite serious as I don’t believe in government prosecution based on religious beliefs.

You misquote me saying I don’t want Trump convicted. I don’t want Trump jailed.
When he was impeached by the House I wanted him convicted by the Senate (which did not happen) which would have forced him from office.

I don’t believe a former President should be tried on federal charges for actions while in office (such as Jan 6) which are political in nature.
That said a President who commits a violent crime such as murder should be subject to criminal prosecution and appropriate punishment.
