The strength of the indictment lies as much in what it charges as what it doesn’t charge.

This is the indictment that those who were horrified by the events of Jan. 6, 2021, have been waiting for. The catalog of misdeeds that Donald Trump is accused of is extensive, some reflected in other prosecutions over classified documents and hush-money payments or in civil lawsuits.

    Certainly, and I’d much rather that the prosecutors and investigators make an iron-clad case than rush it and bungle something that lets the defense cry foul.

    I was just commenting mostly so that we all remember that even though Trump seems to be getting a tiny bit of the comeuppance he deserves, we can’t lose track of the fact that there are still two different legal systems. And we need to stay mad about the fact that which justice system a suspect ends up in is based almost entirely on the suspect’s skin color and perceived wealth.

    Living perpetually in a state of barely contained rage might not be the healthiest choice, but it’s certainly one that keeps me motivated to do everything I can to change the existing system.
