your post is spot on, fantastic analogy.

So Garland is an institutionalist and he worries that indicting Trump will damage our democratic institutions. So Garland is not going to even investigate Republican politicians, former Republican cabinet members, former presidents because it concerns him that will damage our democratic institutions.

Not investigating, indicting, convicting people who attempted to overthrow our democratic government will give them license to do it again. Garland has the foolish notion that prosecuting former politicians is partisan, is bad for the country so by not holding those people accountable, those people who are actively working to end our democratic form of government we are giving the green light to the fascists, to the autocrats, and eventual dictators who will rule America.

By the bye, Garland already had the evidence to indict and convict Trump, Mueller laid all the ducks out in a row.
Garland also failed to prosecute the Cyber Ninjas who violated state and federal election laws.
