People complain about or worry about the damage to the rule of law and order posed by a prosecution of Trump seen as illegitimate by a faction of Americans--but they do not seem to worry about the erosion of the rule of law and order that is actively demonstrated BY NOT PROSECUTING SOMEONE who, to all appearances, has violated a number of laws and committed a number of crimes..
I would argue that the people of the first faction have already lost any respect for or allegiance to a system of law and order (and have demonstrated it repeatedly) while there is a significant number of people who still have that allegiance that will, in fact, be destroyed by a failure to prosecute.
If you are too popular or too rich or too likely to engage or have to followers engage in violence if you have to face the law, then what use is the law? Is it only to keep the peons in their place? Ifr so, why should THEY obey other than through naked coercion and fear?
