In the Jan. 6 probe, the Justice Department’s charging decision shouldn’t be influenced by the challenges inherent in prosecuting a former president, said Tim Naftali, an associate clinical professor of history at NYU’s Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service.

“The test of this referral shouldn’t be how tough it would be to prosecute,” Naftali tweeted. “It should be based on an assessment of the long term cost of federal silence on Trump’s criminal liability. When future Americans learn about the insurrection, would they understand that silence?”

Joyce Alene, a former US attorney in Alabama during the Obama administration, tweeted that the committee’s report should at the very least affect public opinion.

“At least for purposes of the court of public opinion, the evidence against Trump is overwhelming,” Alene wrote, adding that there’s more to come. “Today’s 161-page report is just the executive summary. The full report and back up documentation comes Wednesday.”

1. Spare me "the court of public opinion"...

We need a REAL court that can hand out REAL convictions and REAL penalties.

The "court of public opinion" had already concluded Trump was a jerk by the end of the 2016 race. It didn't stop him from getting elected, thanks to the EC. No reason why that couldn't happen again, as long as we don't get the above.
