I think I’m with Norm Eisen on this one. I know the political reasons for it. Prosecuting a former president for what they did as president is not something that’s eve been done and they are reluctant to set a precedent. But Trump tried to overturn a legal election by pressuring his subordinates to lie and break the law. Do we just let that pass?
That seems like the more dangerous precedent to me. If Trump is found to have broken the law he should be prosecuted. In fact, he should be prosecuted on the basis of the Mueller Report alone — he obstructed justice, no doubt about it.
