Former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade has written a “model prosecution memo” making the case for indicting Donald Trump based on his attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
She argues that the evidence “is sufficient to obtain and sustain convictions of charges for conspiracy to defraud the United States and for obstruction of an official proceeding.”
Matthew Dallek: Prosecuting Trump would set a risky precedent. Not prosecuting would be worse.
