We now have a “first” in the indictment of a former president by a city prosecutor on state level charges. Liberals are rejoicing now but they don’t realize they have set the stage for the future prosecution of a former or even sitting president by some ultra conservative city or county prosecutor on a state charge based on some novel legal theory. How about accessory to murder when an illegal immigrant kills someone in a state after being allowed entry contrary to existing immigration law. Many other instances could be in play.

Be careful what you ask for as you may get more than you wanted. When you open a locked door you often have no control over what comes in. We all remember when then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid changed longstanding practice and Senate rules to allow confirmation of Obama judicial nominations by simple majority vote. That “first” by a radical democrat resulted in later confirmation of two Trump Supreme Court Justices by simple majority vote which led to overturning Roe v Wade.
