If this is the case, it seems to be a _relatively_ technical breach of the rules. Maybe intent would get to the heart of the matter. I'm no expert, but it's surprising to me that they would indict a previous president over this with all of the ramifications.

Some would argue that the consequences are positive. It's important for every citizen to know that nobody is above the law.

Also surprising in the wider context of politicians generally being involved in shenanigans across the board, this one is quite particular, and still not that conclusive.
I mean I'm pretty sure we could find some serious insider trading crimes without too much investigation...

Curious - which laws are serious/important enough to hold ex-presidents to, then?

Why should a president be above the law?
