N.J. congressman says Trump should be tried for 'crimes against our nation and Constitution'
https://www.nj.com/politics/2020/11/fierce-trump-critic-pascrell-says-president-should-be-tried-for-crimes-against-our-nation-and-constitution.htmlNew Jersey Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., one of Donald Trumps fiercest critics on Capitol Hill, is demanding the president and his aides be investigated and prosecuted after they leave office.
Pascrell, D-9th Dist., said late Tuesday that a failure to do so would embolden criminality by our national leaders and continue "America down the path of lawlessness and authoritarianism.
The congressman, re-elected Nov. 3, ticked off a litany of innumerable crimes that he said the president should be held accountable for.
He has endangered our national security, Pascrell said. He ripped families apart. He poisoned the Census. He has personally profited from his office. He has attacked our elections and sought to throttle democracy. He was rightly impeached by the House of Representatives. He has engaged in treachery, in treason. He has all but given up on governing and protecting our nation and if he had a shred of dignity he would resign today.

Perhaps this is just some red meat being thrown at the base.
I dislike being so cynical.

It feels good, but I doubt that the Biden administration will do anything about it, and thats why cynicism is my only remaining defense.
