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.

From the lying trash of a “newspaper” that has never acknowledged that their “reporter”, Walter Duranty, was fed alcohol and prostitutes by the KGB to lie in his articles that there was no communist induced famine in Ukraine, killing eight million people, for which he received the Pulitzer Prize.
This kind of thing is going to be non-stop, to try to prevent Trump from being the nominee in 2024.
Poison the well, poison the well, poison the well...
Let's not forget the Clinton family.
Exactly, I thought they were taking his Pulitzer away after all these years. He was a quite a despicable human being, probably a spy for them also.
Prosecuting President Trump WILL BE the end of democracy.
You are 100% correct. Our founding fathers knew that democracies lead to failures. That is why we are a constitutional republic. If we were a democracy the popular vote in New York City and LA alone would decide elections.
Smells like fear in Manhattan.
Interesting.
Could be a contagious disease called Trump Derangement Syndrome. Hit lots of media today.

Once the kulaks and Trumpskyites are gone, Levranti Garland will turn on the Clintonites.
Where is the left coming up with the phrase ARMED insurrection? How many protesters were armed? How many government officals shot or shot at?
I believe they call it the “Final Solution”.
AKA “Endlösung der Trumpfrage”.
To end democracy. But then, again, we’re a representative constitutional republic that the (D) don’t understand that concept.
Continuing, they also wrote, "The only thing that will remove this stain on our democracy is for us to have him lashed with a whip until his back is criss-crossed with deep cuts, then have him hitched to the back of our environmentally friendly Tesla and drag him for a quarter mile, pour salt in all his wounds and then pour boiling water down his throat until he dies, dies, DIES! All with us pleasuring ourselves at the same time, of course."
The Old Grey Lady can go perform an anatomically impossible function. And Jennifer Rubin, too. And that Tw@t Haberman.
I’ve got nothing left to say to these people.
‘Cept come and take it.
NYT + Democracy = Oxymoron
NYT = New York Tass
