Inauguration Day is only seven weeks away. In “normal” times, the outgoing president and his team would at this point be facilitating a smooth transfer of power—tying up a few policy loose ends, but generally making way for the new president and acknowledging the new political priorities of that president.
None of that is happening with Donald Trump. In fact, quite the reverse........
Given how the post-election period has developed, it’s not enough to remove this man from power. His authoritarian presence on the political stage, the cancer that he represents on the American body politic, must be obliterated, leaving absolutely no possibility of a second act. For he has in this past month declared total war on American democracy. And in this struggle, there can be no middle ground.
There is a lot of talk of “healing” and “moving on,” of ignoring Trump’s myriad crimes in order to somehow nurture the greater good. But healing involves, at the very least, acknowledgment of culpability on the part of the guilty—that was, after all, the foundational principle of South Africa’s post-apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Trump is not only not admitting any culpability, but his rampage against the legal, political, and cultural pillars of American democracy is actually intensifying as his term in office draws to a close.
Without even a nod to truth, there certainly can be no reconciliation. Trump’s disgraceful, dangerous behavior, from his self-dealing while in government to his last-ditch efforts to subvert the popular will, is cratering trust in American democracy. For this, he must be made to face a legal reckoning.

What a delusional SOB. Smooth. professional transitions? Like the transitions to the Bush & Trump administrations?
Stupid people want to prosecute Trump for being mean to stupid people.
Defeating liberals isn’t enough. They must be wiped out!

There is no way the Left, if able to seize power by fraud, will allow Trump to live until 2024. They will hound him and his family to death. It’s what they do.
Beware the Ides of March. Trump is at the same place as Julius Caesar. At the Rubicon.

WHY ANY EFFORTS TO PROSECUTE TRUMP SHOULD BE MET WITH ARMED RESISTANCE
Pres. Trump didn't threaten with-holding aid to the Ukraine like Biden proudly announced if they didn't fire the prosecutor who was investigating the corrupt Burisma company that Hunter Biden sat on the BOD.
What crimes, Dippy Hippy?
With our election being stolen, I'm not sure I would be adverse to that. Our Nation is at stake. I wonder how such a declaration would play out.
For.What. Crime?
