Will Donald Trump face John Adams justice or Frank Zappa justice?

It is no longer a matter of should former President Donald Trump be prosecuted, but will he be prosecuted.

The U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol is making the case – as you’ve probably heard Republican Rep. Liz Cheney say several times – that Trump’s attempt to strongarm Vice President Mike Pence into rejecting the Electoral College votes, overturn a valid election and hand the presidency back to Trump was both “illegal and unconstitutional.”

John Adams, our second president, one of the Founding Fathers, wrote in an essay that a republic such as ours only works if it is “a government of laws, and not of men.”

You remember Frank, don’t you? The late-musician, composer and front man for The Mothers of Invention once said, “The United States is a nation of laws, badly written and randomly enforced.”
