If Trump shot someone on Fifth Avenue, as he once joked he could, would all those prosecutors still struggle to indict him?
Is it reasonable to think that violence and interfering with an election might take place after he urged the mob to go to the Capitol alongside him?
Until now, they have been immersed in what they call a “bottom up” approach of snagging the lower level criminals before moving on to the higher-ups, some time in the Ron DeSantis administration. The justice department has previously decided that it cannot prosecute a sitting president – not for legal reasons but for logical ones. At some point, the president can intervene to stop his own prosecution so any case will ultimately collapse.
If the current justice department cannot understand that – if it cannot understand how criminal acts are defined and what reasonable doubt looks like – then it has no reason to exist. Almost a century ago, on Valentine’s Day of 1929, there was a massacre of mobsters in Chicago by a gang armed with machine guns who were pretending to serve as police officers. Their leader was sunning himself in Florida, where some criminal masterminds like to spend their down time.
