Firstly, I can’t read this article as it’s behind a paywall. I have, however, read other articles about it.

Second, imagine how famous the image of a former president’s mugshot will become. This idiot is going to have his picture in every newspaper, for the 500th time. And anyone planning on voting for him currently is not going to change their mind because of it.

I want him to get charged with every crime under the sun, but there has got to be a way to do it without giving him the national stage time and time again. It could be 2016 all over again if the media doesn’t change its behavior.

The mugshot will drive everyone to vote on both sides and, we all know, when more people vote across the board, republicans lose, so I'm all for it.
