.” But the longer Garland goes without charging Trump, the more he is ironically undermining the Justice Department and the criminal justice system as a whole.
Donoghue’s testimony provided the “smoking gun” that proves the “corrupt intent” needed to prosecute Trump. Trump’s brazenly trying to block the peaceful transfer of power and playing a key role in the events of Jan. 6 go way beyond anything we’ve seen before. His not being prosecuted would send the message that the rich and powerful can escape justice, unlike the rest of us, who must adhere to the law.released over the weekend found that support for criminally charging Trump has risen to 58 percent, up from 52 percent in early May.
Former Watergate prosecutor and current MSNBC legal analyst Jill Wine-Banks said on my SiriusXM show last week: “The question of can they indict Donald Trump is blatantly obvious. The answer is yes, they can.” Then she added: “Should they? Is it in the best interest of the nation?” She answered yes to her own question and said that if the Justice Department doesn’t “hold Trump accountable … he or another wrongdoer will do the same thing.
Garland is 100% correct. The rule of law is part of the very foundation of our democratic system, one that Trump sought to destroy. And for people to believe in the rule of law — as Garland so sincerely does — the public must see that no one is above it, not even a former American president.
