New York Times calling for all cases against Trump to end. Writer specializes in SCOTUS cases. Teaches at Harvard and Stanford. Yeah, the Mouth of Sauron has spoken.
End the Criminal Cases Against Trump
Thomas Goldstein
With the election now over, the courts have to decide quickly whether to move forward with the criminal cases against Donald Trump. Although this idea will pain my fellow Democrats, all of the cases should be abandoned.
Democracy’s ultimate verdict on these prosecutions was rendered by voters on Election Day. The charges were front and center in the campaign. The president-elect made a central feature of his candidacy that the cases were political and calculated to stop him from being re-elected. Despite the prosecutions, more than 75 million people, a majority of the popular vote counted so far, decided to send him back to the White House.
