Actually I did, even if the burden of proof was on you. And no, statute of limitation doesn't "pause" for criminal cases for any reasons as for the reason of their existence is memories and evidence fading over time and to avoid wrongful convictions. Being out of state has no effect on that.

That's not the only novel legal theory being at play to convict for the first time a President here.

Courts have ruled that it doesn't mean brief visits invalidate it. Whether you think that's appropriate or not, that's the legal precedent.

You are aware that the Trump Tower exists right?

He doesn't live there. He lives in Florida. Before that he lived in the White House.

The criteria for the tolling of the statute of limitations is to unavailable. Trump being the President was. This was meant for people going into hiding.
