I share your frustration with the possibility of GOP blowback from a Trump prosecution, but I would say this: if Trump is not held accountable for this undeniably treasonous act, our democracy is toast. This, any potential negative consequences of prosecution are of little to no concern.

I may not have been clear enough, Frank. I'm not concerned about Republicans complaining about a Trump prosecution. That's a given. These days they live to complain and rage. I'm annoyed with the media and non-Republican figures who don't like Trump, but who keep warning about Republicans accusing prosecutors of political bias. Who cares? What Attorney General is going to forgo prosecuting a former president who plotted to overthrow our government and who has committed more federal crimes than most mob bosses, just because it will upset that former president's followers? We all know if our rule of law is not upheld, we will have no democracy. So the media needs to stop wringing it's hands about whether it's okay to prosecute a criminal repeat offender like Trump. We have no choice if we want to protect America from future criminals trying to destroy our country.
Thank you for the clarification. I did misinterpret your post. I agree: credible media, in an attempt to appear non-partisan and balanced, have failed in their duty to report the facts, and the fact is that Trump committed unpardonable (word carefully chosen) acts that must be prosecuted. We're on the same page.

Exactly! Thanks, C C.
