President Trump Must Go To Jail For Our Democracy To Get Back To Normal

Donald Trump must go to jail.

It’s the only way to make things right in this country after four long years of unprecedented hell, and it’s the best way to guarantee that this will never happen again. So says his niece Mary Trump, who is right.

Sean Hannity says that Trump should pardon himself, a grotesque misdeed to end them all. Let him try. He could still be hauled into court if the prosecutors make the obvious case that self-pardon is at odds with the original intent of the Founding Fathers. Let the smug “originalists” on the Supreme Court dig their teeth into that.

Then indict Hannity for aiding and abetting sedition.

This goes beyond the issues in Trump’s behavior that is crying out for prosecution: the tax fraud, the obstruction of justice, the perjury, the collusion with a foreign enemy, the conflicts of interest, the bribery, the nepotism, the subversion of the work of many federal agencies that constitutes nothing less than a conspiracy to defraud the United States by undermining the clear intent of statute law. It goes beyond the career progression that took Trump from the status of a con man to a white-collar criminal to a megalomaniac who seeks to drain the law of any substance.

It goes beyond all that, for in his mad compulsion to make his own will supreme, he has threatened our basic institutions. And he continues to threaten them.
