It is perhaps the most important indictment ever handed down to safeguard American democracy and the rule of law in any U.S. court against anyone.

    So the justice department should have just let Trump get away from it all and then he for sure wouldn’t be re-elected?

      There have been a lot of people saying that prosecuting Trump for crimes only helps him and never hurts him. I’m not sure that’s true.

        Even if it does help him, which I am dubious of, the alternative is to say “Presidents and ex-presidents can get away with doing whatever they want.” Is that really the best thing for the country?

        I think giving up on prosecuting him because it may help him would indicate a far greater forfeiture of USA’s democracy.
