Charging a former president with crimes would be an extraordinary development in American history and carries the risk of forever reshaping our politics as well as the very future of the nation. It should not be undertaken lightly.
But former President Trump's multifaceted attempt to overthrow the results of the 2020 election that culminated with him inciting violent mobs to attack the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as Congress was certifying Joe Biden’s victory, was also an extraordinary development in American history — one that nearly destroyed our democracy. The country is already in uncomfortable, uncharted waters navigating the wreckage Trump left in his wake.
At a minimum, the Department of Justice should prosecute him for conspiring to defraud the United States and conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding, the electoral vote count. These crimes carry maximum sentences of five and 20 years in prison, respectively.
Prosecuting the foot soldiers is only partial justice for this grave attack on American democracy. To restore the nation's standing in the world, and among its citizens, it's critical that the ringleader of this shameful chapter in history be held accountable as well. Prosecuting Trump will demonstrate that the bedrock principles of the United States remain firm: The voters decide who holds power, and no one is above the law.

I think they mean ‘Crimes against the Party’
Or maybe ‘Counter Revolutionary Activities’
As the LA Times aided and abetted the actual insurrection of the United States in the summer of love of 2020.
As the LA Times continues to support AntiFa in terrorizing US citizens.
As the LA Times continues to ignore the rising crime and lawlessness in their own city and praises the leaders that caused it.
You want to rewrite the politics of America? Time to shut down traitorous yellow rags like the LA Times for sedition.
People know this is unfair. No cross examine. Won’t bring in actual secret service that would show that girl was a liar. I heard they have private attorneys. Would love to see them lose the midterms but they out right cheated in 2020 so I expect the same in 2022. And no one will do anything about it. We will see cheating even more in your face than last time. Until the truth is known and corrected about 2020 we will never get it corrected.
How about WE, the collective US not including California just disavow your trifling, socialist, country-destroying asses and oust you?
Charge him and attempt to “try” him and see what happens.
The first move should be to blockade the cities.
how depraved these Commie/Nazis have become.
lies lies lies lies lies lies slanders libels and more lies
they need to be locked up in rubber rooms for their own safety
By their fruit you will know them.
What does Trump crave - Attention.
What is the MSM giving him - Attention.
Fools, I’m not going to stop them!
A nice tune-up before forced enrollment in the American Spandau Ballet.
What’s the charge?
These are the same morons who cheer on millions of foreign invaders who illegally enter the United States every year and steal from the taxpayers and the U.S. Treasury. They are FOS hypocrites.
Are they really so lacking in self awareness at the Times that they do not know how commentary like this comes across to those who do not share their obvious political bent?
Apparently they are.
This is nothing more than mental masturbation.
Winning an election against the Democrats and the Assistant Democrats.
Only the intelligent, morally strong, and benevolent can reject it.
Millions of fools believe it. God help them! God save us from them!
George Orwell was a prophet. His masterpiece of dark prophesy was only 38 years too early:
God save us!
Speak TRUTH and you will likely get yourself killed!
Half the US population worships Big Brother!
The Los Angeles Times demonstrates one thing, that they believe one-sided show trials, like the Marxists like to do, and where only one narrative is presented, without contrary witnesses and evidence, are equivalent to true bipartisan “investigations”.
With papers like the Los Angeles Times it is no wondee that the vast majority of the American people not longer trust newspapers and their “journalists”.
Also, patriots are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents in federal and state governments. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.
Insights welcome.
Based on what I’ve seen the left do to America and its traditional values and institutions over the past two years, I see virtually no chance they will fail to indict Trump for something. They have the power but maybe not for much longer - given past behavior and the threat they feel if Trump was reelected, what would stop them?
Actually the head of the Biden crime family, the demented corrupt fraud lying in the White House, should be arrested and imprisoned. The Biden family and the Pelosi family are just a few of the components that constitute the criminal conspiracy known as the Democratic Party. By the way the LA Times is owned by a person who is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.
There is no living peacefully with these Leftist trash.
Civil War is definitely on the horizon.
