That's besides the point. It's explicitly allowed to prevent the weaponization of felonies against political opponents.

    Instead of focusing on Trump, think about how badly that would have been abused. The ruling party would find bullshit charges on their political opponents.

    It also doesn't make any sense to outright bar people who broke the law because a lot of times people run for office to change the law
