You next bring up Nixon which is a perfect point. We’re still paying for him getting a bye. That pardon opened the door to corruption being normalized I’m political office.

If charges aren’t brought, we’re back to the same sort of thinking that went along with divine right to rule. In other words, two sets of rules, out in the open (because most people already have at least some sense that’s where we are), and without redress.

That doesn’t fly. It will lead to revolt, revolution, anarchy, instability. Maybe not immediately. Maybe so.

If he doesn’t prosecute, we’re in for a major national bloodletting. If he does, there may be one anyway over other issues and political disagreements.
