It matters not a whit whether he “organized” it or not. He was a direct participant in a highly illegal publicity stunt. He should be made an example of.

You know, as a warning to others

I don’t disagree with you. Lets enjoy letting this play out. The dept of justice has limited resources. They have to pick and choose for a variety of reason. Convictions are the goal, lets if they think there is enough evidence.

I trust our current team and understand the difficult choices they have to make.

and again, I remind you that the court of public opinion is also a court that we CAN be involved in. Trump understands that is the big court and we can help him.

Etymology
The phrase “Court of Public Opinion” combines the legal metaphor of a “court,” where judgments are made, with “public opinion,” indicating the views held by a broad group of people. The term underscores the idea that society can render judgments that are as influential, if not more so, than those handed down by formal institutions.

Court (Middle English: “courte” from the Old French “corte”, from Latin “cohors”, meaning “enclosure, retinue, or cohort”)
Public (Latin: “publicus,” meaning “of the people”)
Opinion (Latin: “opinionem,” meaning “conjecture, fancy, belief”)
