Once again, appreciating today's take on this by Matt Margolis:
"Indeed, while Obama will almost certainly avoid legal consequences, the political and historical fallout could be devastating. If he’s officially named as an unindicted co-conspirator in a plot to frame his successor, and the people who carried out that plot end up in prison, his legacy won’t just take a hit; it’ll be permanently disfigured. It’s hard to claim innocence when everyone who did your bidding goes down for the crime.
A scenario like that isn’t something CNN or MSNBC can memory-hole, no matter how hard they try.
No, Barack Obama won’t be frog-marched out of his Martha’s Vineyard mansion. But if this investigation follows through, the myth of his “scandal-free” presidency could collapse under the weight of a conspiracy that once masqueraded as patriotism but now reeks of abuse, corruption, and cover-up.
Obama may not go to jail, but history may render its own indictment."
Don't be too sure he doesn't face the bar. After what he tried to do to Trump and the fact the SCOTUS immunity ruling only applies to official duties, he may face some sort of legal proceeding.
