Trump Should Be Indicted

That's what we all saw Trump do on national television.

Over the last four years Trump has repeatedly been denounced for acting as though he were above the law. We can't allow a supposed need for "unity" to confirm that he was right.

Impunity is incredibly dangerous. In Central America, it means you never worry about being prosecuted if you're a corrupt police chief. In Russia, it means you can poison your political enemies without punishment. In Saudi Arabia, it means you can literally dismember a critic in another country's embassy and suffer no consequences.

Impunity is a disease that rots the rule of law. Left unchecked, it will rot American democracy. America must teach Donald Trump that he is not above the law -- and that his impunity has finally come to an end.
