I am weary of reading about how the threat of violence by the MAGA/Tea Party/Proud Boys/Oath Keepers/Q-anon Rambo-wannabes should be taken into consideration when decisions about who should be prosecuted are being made.
As clearly as I can say it: if these skulking masked cowardly thugs are all it takes to intimidate "the system" and let smirking traitors go unpunished, this democracy will not deserve to survive.
I do not believe there will be anything approaching the "civil war" that some predict if we "dare" indict and prosecute Trump. If some of the deranged Trumpies are stupid enough to start playing soldier in an effort to keep "their president" out of prison, the survivors will be promptly arrested and, in due course, prosecuted.
And, these miscreants should not buy into the ignorant assumptions that we "liberal snowflakes" are all unarmed pushovers. Not wanting to hurt people is not the same as "won't fight back".
So, let's "hew to the line and let the chips fall where they may". And, if that pisses off the camo cavalry---we'll deal with it..
