William Barr says Trump is toast if convicted

Washington is all about politics, so when Trump's attorney general William Barr says the former president is "toast" if he is convicted of all the charges against him, one is never quite sure whether he is speaking as a lawyer or as a former member of Trump's cabinet who became disillusioned with his boss. But assuming he was speaking from his experience as the country's former top lawyer, he surely has to be right. All this talk about Trump winning the election and serving as president behind bars is so ridiculous it needs to be quashed right away. For the reputation of the United State around the world it would be demeaning, impractical, embarrassing, exploitable by America's enemies, and downright shameful. So, right now Trump is innocent of all charges full stop. But if he were to be convicted and sentenced to a term in prison, someone in high authority, even if it has to be the Supreme Court, should make a ruling that it bars him from becoming president. Otherwise the United States will become a laughing stock.
