Post-Trump Justice: Prosecute the Criminals

It’s time to look beyond the 2026 and 2028 elections and ask one of the most consequential questions in American history: Will the Trump Administration be held accountable for its sweeping crimes?

It’s not enough to go after individual acts of illegality. Democrats must erect a framework that encompasses the totality of the Trump era’s blatant disregard for the law. Watergate was about the actions of a president. The post-Trump legal process is the prosecution of a vast criminal conspiracy.

The first Trump presidency ended with the most violent assault on the U.S. Capitol since the War of 1812. The majority of Republican Members of Congress voted not to certify an election won by eight million votes. Donald Trump was recorded demanding that the Georgia Secretary of State falsify votes to give him a victory in a state he lost by over 8,000 votes. Trump left office in possession of highly classified national security documents. After refusing to return them for over a year, the FBI raided his home.

After leaving the presidency, Donald Trump was indicted by four grand juries in four jurisdictions:

In Manhattan, Trump was indicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

In Washington, he was indicted on four felony counts for 2020 election interference

In Florida, he was indicted on 40 counts of mishandling classified documents

In Georgia, he was indicted on 13 counts of election interference

And let us not allow the increasingly blatant crime to blot out our memory of repubs stacking the formerly supreme court, letting Thomas slide through despite obvious crimes against women and of course blatant corruption ever since. Not to mention the still-consequential matter of the "holdup" on a more middle-of-the-road candidate because he was nominated by a dem and it was "too close to the election," only to let lying highly partisan unfit drunkards promulgate ever since with no real bi-partisan scrutiny.

His autopen will self-destruct. Every loyalist will have preemptive immunity for life.

If you pray, pray for the health of Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson.
