Open season on all the other crimes his businesses and "foundation" did, though.

Since he's not going to be prosecuted in office, you're saying that people who commit political crimes should just be able to get away with them? The remedy is impeachment while the President is in office, but why not prosecution afterwards? If you believe in the rule of law, it seems like you should have some faith in the rule of law.
