The New York Times said Donald Trump must face prosecution over his "unprecedented assault" on American democracy to show that no one is "above the law."
In an editorial published on Friday, the Times suggested that it is vital that the former president be criminally investigated over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, including a plot to install fake electoral officials in a number of key states, before he "roused an armed mob" to storm the Capitol on January 6.
The paper's editorial board said that while "no one should revel" in the prospect of a former president facing criminal prosecution, Trump's actions have "brought shame on one of the world's oldest democracies and destabilized its future."
"Even justice before the law will not erase that stain. Nor will prosecuting Mr. Trump fix the structural problems that led to the greatest crisis in American democracy since the Civil War. But it is a necessary first step toward doing so," the board wrote.
The editorial was published following increased speculation on whether Trump may become the first president in U.S. history to be charged with a crime.
Not only did the House Select Committee investigating the January attack present several days of evidence detailing Trump's apparent criminal behavior, the FBI recently raided his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida as part of an investigation into whether the former president illegally removed classified records from the White House when he left office in January 2021.

And they still got nuthin'. Must be frustrating.
Yep. Scum bags all.
What is the Final Step?
Desperation liars looking for multiple layers of lies to coverup lies
What is the Final Step?
One party rule under Klaus Schwab
The 2020 election WAS stolen!!!!
To end the “democracy crisis”—prosecute those who stole the election, not only the corrupt election officials, but also Zuckerberg, etc. and all those who covered up the Hunter biden laptop issue!!!!
The Steal was the crisis, not challenging The Steal.
Whatever the final step is, it will be the final solution.
A Pandora’s Box they will wish they had never opened.
So, which is the Step where we abolish the Secret Police who fabricate evidence to frame the Regime’s critics??
Would the final step and the final solution be the same?
What ‘Democracy Crisis’?
Leftists are ALWAYS talking about Trump’s so-called crimes and that he must face prosecution....
For what? What the flying F are the crimes? Put up or shut up, present the evidence. Enough of the BS, their actions s are transparent, they know PRESIDENT Trump was a threat to their agenda. They know he STILL is.
At some point there will be a reckoning, and these corrupt pols will be perp walked.
There will not be a socialist America. Ever.
Oh so the Pelosi and Biden families would be next, since no one is above the law? Right. Communism eliminates its opposition.
Prosecuting the NYT for giving aid and comfort to the domestic enemies of the United States would be a “first step” to restoring Constitutional rule.
Whenever you hear commies talk about “Our Democracy” they mean their Communist Agenda..what they want is what Hitler wanted, everyone dead who does not agree with him
And another thing... to me, it’s more important that President Trump stands exonerated, stands proud, stands vindicated and appreciated than his return to POTUS.
He deserves to be POTUS (and I want that), but at a minimum he deserves justice.
They prosecute Trump and they will CREATE a Democratic “crisis” and they’re not going to like the results.
How can they say this? Seriously. It’s like saying that throwing a match into lighter fluid is the best way to prevent a fire.
