Via the Angry Baseball at National Review: There Is No Nonpolitical Case for Trying Trump before Election Day.
Reaction: there is utterly no choice in any of this can be seen as “nonpolitical.”
Indeed, the very fact it took as long as it did to indict was based, in part, on politics.
Further, purposefully pushing court action beyond Election Day because of the elections would be political.
The whole notion that this situation can, in any way, be devoid of “politics” comes across to me as someone trying to be a Very Serious Person more than anything else.
I will agree with McLaughlin as follows:
Trump should be prevented from running again for the good of the country, although it was the job of the Senate to do that, and Republican senators failed when they had the chance.
The unwillingness of McConnell and company to rally and prevent Trump from running for office in the future after his clear complicity in the events of January 6th will go down in history as a moment of utterly foolish cowardice, especially should Trump be able to return to the White House.
