Laurence Tribe: If Garland doesn't prosecute Trump, the rule of law is "out the window"

[CrispyQ]

8. Finally, someone brings up the Raffensperger call.

I haven't read anything about that call since the end of spring. It appears the Fulton County prosecutor has dropped the case. ??? WTF? We have it on tape. What more is needed? I think the interviewer was right that a decision has been made to not prosecute Trump.

Question: Why have Donald Trump and other members of his regime not been prosecuted for their many obvious crimes? Where is the accountability? To me it appears that some type of decision has been made at the highest levels of government not to prosecute Trump and his allies in order to "protect" the country.

Answer: There are very accomplished, serious people who have written op-eds saying not to worry and that it is important that Attorney General Merrick Garland builds his case slowly.

These same people have also counseled that the American people should not assume that because we know nothing about investigations into the role of Mo Brooks and Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump himself in fomenting the insurrection that there is not in fact a grand jury looking into those matters.

I hope that is the case. But if you are correct and there's been some kind of decision at a high level that we shouldn't rock the boat, that we should look forward, not backward, that we should let bygones be bygones, that we should not descend into what some people will call an endless spiral of vengeance and retribution, that we had better not go after people like Trump, then the country is in really desperate trouble.

Looking forward—it's what our side does. We can't ignore the fact that we have some blame in this mess.
