Being elected by a majority doesn't negate crimes committed, as much as a certain president would love everyone to believe that. Being elected shouldn't have anything to do with being punished, whether they won by 1% or by 99%

Sure, elected criminals should tried, convicted if guilty, and punished for criminal actions. The votes don't change that. I'm saying something else: Maybe it makes some sense after all for the taxpayers to pay civil damages due to actions of a government officer.
