Some thoughts about charging and jailing political enemies. [View all]

[Stinky The Clown]

When Trump and Barr, with LittleMeRudy, were doing the Lock Her Up bullshit, our side was outraged. Justifiably. Righteously.

When they did this, there was no crime. HRC had been investigated six ways from Sunday and there was nothing to lock her up about.

Now things are changed. At the moment there are no charges that can stick but there is strong evidence that crimes were committed.

So what do we do?

I can imagine a scenario where we investigate, charge, prosecute, and sentence the singularly most criminal administration in the history of this country and among the worst in the history of mankind. I can imagine that tearing the country apart.

I can make the case that, had there been charges and convictions for Bushco, we might not be here now. I can also imagine us having tried that only to watch the House go to 438-100, or even worse and the Senate go 80-20.

On the other hand, Bushco can be said to be small potatoes when stood against Trumpism.

Is it worth risking our majorities and our hold on the White House to prosecute Trumpco crimes?

The bomb thrower part of me says YES. The ecumenical part of me says we are better than that and now is the time to heal.

In short, I don't know.
