What Biden should do now about Trump
President Joe Biden should follow his own sage advice from the statement he released hours after the "not guilty" vote by 43 Republican senators in Donald Trump's impeachment trial led to his acquittal. Biden implored us to be vigilant in protecting our "fragile" democracy and noted that "each of us has a duty and responsibility as Americans, and especially as leaders, to defend the truth and to defeat the lies."
To that end, the most effective way Biden can defend our fragile democracy is by calling for a full criminal investigation into the role Donald Trump played in the January 6 attack on our Capitol.
At the outset, let's be 100% clear that no criminal prosecution should ever be commenced for political reasons. That's illegal and truly un-American. Conversely, no prosecution should ever be rejected for political reasons either -- such as hoping that by not prosecuting a political figure it will foster more "unity." That approach is just as wrong.
But look at the facts surrounding the January 6 deadly attack, which appears to meet the legal definition of "domestic terrorism" since it was intended to "to intimidate or coerce a civilian population" and affect the conduct of government by measures that included mass destruction.
