Is this finally the breaking point? The Justice Department on Tuesday unveiled yet another round of criminal charges against Donald Trump, this time for conspiracy, obstruction and related offenses stemming from his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, continuing a string of unprecedented legal action against a former president.
With Trump still the frontrunner to challenge President Joe Biden next year, discretion in bringing such charges could hardly be more essential. Peruse the facts of this case, though, and it’s clear that Special Counsel Jack Smith has done the right thing — and that Republicans should abandon Trump while they still can.
