Charging a former president with crimes would be an extraordinary development in American history and carries the risk of forever reshaping our politics as well as the very future of the nation. It should not be undertaken lightly.
But former President Trump's multifaceted attempt to overthrow the results of the 2020 election that culminated with him inciting violent mobs to attack the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as Congress was certifying Joe Biden’s victory, was also an extraordinary development in American history — one that nearly destroyed our democracy. The country is already in uncomfortable, uncharted waters navigating the wreckage Trump left in his wake.
At a minimum, the Department of Justice should prosecute him for conspiring to defraud the United States and conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding, the electoral vote count. These crimes carry maximum sentences of five and 20 years in prison, respectively.
Prosecuting the foot soldiers is only partial justice for this grave attack on American democracy. To restore the nation's standing in the world, and among its citizens, it's critical that the ringleader of this shameful chapter in history be held accountable as well. Prosecuting Trump will demonstrate that the bedrock principles of the United States remain firm: The voters decide who holds power, and no one is above the law.

The world wonders?
Why are the seditionists who carried out the Trump coup still alive?
America can’t save itself, won’t save itself
I have thought for some time the NWaO will fail, but they will take us down with them before admitting defeat. The Dem are in it.
DC types need to know they can’t go home again, starting yesterday. It’s not like they represent us.
Whatever they say it is. They have been defining the narrative as insurrection, so that’s probably what it will be.
The commies have the helm. They have methods of operating, history illustrates what those methods are. Books have been written about them. It is not in their nature to just give power back.
I think the biggest obstacle in peoples minds to overcome is the idea that “it can’t happen here”. But it can, and it is.
I know I’m preaching to the choir...
I have had the feeling they are trying to pick a fight as well.
When they charge President Trump with federal, criminal charges, the makeup of CWII, which is currently under way, will change.
Isn’t it amazing? We saw with our own eyes the communist revolutionaries within the USA burning our country down for over a year. Yet not a peep from them about that.
But all the fabricated lies about President Trump get nonstop coverage for five or six years.
Funny thing about that. LA Times didn’t share this opinion when Gore was trying to pervert the 2000 election results to win or when Hillary was colluding with a radicalized Justice Dept attacking candidate and the President Trump. None of these chattering classes stood up for the voters who chose Trump in 2016.
They do not decide when Justice applies.
“Doctor” Jill
The Times should be charged with treason.
In the novel I’m reading, their offices are bombed - and much of the nation is not displeased.
“He never called for any law enforcement or military support even as members of Congress feared for their lives”
Unadulterated garbage !! The wrong person is being invested. Hopefully there will happen after this crucial November election a desparately needed full and honest investigation instead of this Pelosi hand picked sham.
“Nancy Pelosi Owns January 6”
Excerpts :
“Despite the Associated Press and Washington Post’s best efforts to run interference for the speaker, suddenly exonerating her of duties overseeing Capitol security,
the riot on Jan. 6 was a security failure Pelosi owns.”
“The ongoing House Select Committee investigation
serves just as much to protect Pelosi as it does
to use the levers of government to punish political
dissidents, even targeting private records of
individuals with no connection to the violence. “

“...our democracy.”
Just saying.....
A word of warning to the megalomaniacs infesting the Democrat party: If you’re counting on the conservatives you’re currently abusing forgiving and forgetting your Constitution destroying behavior, you are delusional. The BIG difference is that when WE come for YOU, we’ll have an arrest warrant in one hand and the Constitution in the other!
