Holding Trump accountable outweighs any surcurity risk from his delusional base. This is America, and justice is our foundation.

[kayezbiciak]

The public has needed to see that NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW for a very long time. That is what is unprecedented!

[suezbell]

Secret Service should not be paying to stay at Mar-a-Lago when "45" is indicted -- "45" should be guarded by prison guards pending trial(s) and verdict(s).

[Crystan]

If you can't even hold your leaders accountable for their actions, then is it truly a democracy? This indictment needs to happen for people to have any faith in the justice system.

Nixon-"I am not a crook!"

Trump-"I plead the 5th because I am a crook!"

[anniemarizetts]

Just because it has not happened before should not mean it should not happen. Criminals must be held accountable no matter who they are.

[Leonaza]

That still doesn’t mean he will be declared guilty. He should have been in jail decades ago.

[woongah]

After these last two years I have learned this much:

At least Nixon knew when to fold.

[je]

There are 3 indictments pending, when he walks out from one courthouse he should be served for the next.

I’ve not before had the experience of living under a President who is so completely unfit for office. I have PTSD from those four years, and afterwards. The lack of accountability, up until now, is literally wounding to the country and its people. We must have justice (whether it is a precedent or not).

[nevannarence]

we may not have the experience of arresting a ex president but boy is it one that is looked forward to by millions. He must be held accountable. and frankly we demand it

[stopthechaos]

I want that perp walk televised so I can play it over and over.

[fredhoy]

Hey Ari, I'm ready for the experience. I do hope that they protect the DA, all other judicial officers and the jury. You have to know that donnie is going to try to wind up his crazies. These innocents deserve our ultimate protection and respect.

[amgguy]

Yeah, a Lawyer also swore that all Top Secret Highly Classified Documents had been returned...

[edmer]

I find it incredibly sad that there were/are U.S. citizens who believed any word that traitor said😔

[becky]

In this country, a citizen is a citizen. They have no more rights than any other citizen. We are all expected to be law-abiding.

[msveevee]

He's been a problem all his life and his daddy got him out of all the trouble but now hes not here to get him out of this!

[therealdoug]

A warrant by the Hague for Putin and an impending indictment of Trump! It's like Christmas and Thanksgiving on the same day.

[cherylmcnutt]

I hope the authorities are watching Trump closely to make sure he doesn’t flee the country to avoid prosecution.
