Prosecuting Trump Is Problematic, Refusing To Is Unthinkable

A reader sent me this, remarking: He’s still here, on duty, guarding the country. 

As we’ve all learned over the past six or seven years, we live among tens of millions of amazingly stupid people. And for this reason, the criminal prosecution of the 45th president is going to cause a great deal of commotion among heavily armed morons.

It needs to be said, however, that rule of law, i.e., the concept that no one is above the law, requires that an attempt to overthrow the government of the United States must not be ignored if American democracy is to survive.
