It’s Time to Prosecute Donald Trump

Laurence Tribe and Dennis Aftergut: “A concluding point. Some observers have expressed fear that a single Trump-supporting juror could ‘hang’ the jury, suggesting that the US attorney general, Merrick Garland, might just deem that risk to be too great to be worth running. But as the BBC’s observer of Guy Reffitt’s trial noted, every juror there saw through the smoke the defendant was blowing. Jurors are instructed to use their common sense, and the jury in Reffitt did just that.”

“A DC jury would do the same in a trial of the conspiracy’s central actor. Once all the evidence is expeditiously gathered, with or without the special counsel that we recommend, the justice department must indict him.”
