My hot take: It’s actually good to normalize indicting people who really seem to have committed crimes and who are likely to continue doing so.
@jpanzer @mmasnick Yeah, but it’s telling that it’s Trump paying off a sex partner and not GW Bush for war crimes.
@Voline @jpanzer @mmasnick war crimes have always been extremely difficult to bring and prosecute, trump is at a lower level of potential criminality. Also the classic example is Al Capone being done for tax evasion. Break enough laws and one of them will get you eventually.
