Did I say that is a good reason not to indict someone? No.
I said best of luck to the court finding an impartial jury for this case. As in a great many people feel strongly one way or another about former President of the United States, Donald Trump. You are a good example of what I’m talking about on one side of the coin.

So by your logic you believe that Maxine Waters should be arrested for inciting violence for calling for people to attack conservatives and members of the Trump administration wherever they are found right?
You believe that Cuck Schumer should be prosecuted for calling for protests of the Supreme Court and the Justices that lead up to an assassination attempt right?
What about tossing Madonna in prison for saying she wanted to go kill Trump personally?
What about the "protesters" that violently took over the Oklahoma state capitol?
So what about all of these? Or the news people that called for "largely peaceful protests" where hundreds of millions in damage was done and people were attacked and killed?
I am not holding my breath for an honest answer but your weaseling should be mildly entertaining to watch.
I asked for neither your Opinion,
your Acceptance
nor your Permission.

That's pretty fair, although federal prosecutors have a fairly different take on breaking and entering in a seditious conspiracy to disrupt a federal election. The thousand or so arrests and the subsequent successful prosecutions tell a different story.
It's interesting though, Trump using this opportunity to raise campaign donations. Just as how he's promised in his speeches to pardon those convicted for those who took part in his conspiracy /if/ re-elected. One has to wonder why he didn't offer those pardons before January 20th 2021? Was it merely to have a ready source of cash over the proceeding two years? It certainly seems that way.
weird hypothetical - assuming there is a lawful indictment and lawful warrant issued. who is going to arrest a former president? is that even possible under 18 usc 3056, which makes it federal law that the secret service provide protection for former presidents. if the secret service doesn't permit the arrest because of their protection mandate, what happens? If the secret service does permit an arrest, do they accompany the president to jail?
As his people have already announced they won't contest any type of restraint during his indictment I think that is a non issue. But it's already been addressed that going to jail or prison doesn't void Secret Service protection, so he'd be the most well protected felon ever.
