On the Trump indictment job number one is not justice. Can we bring back the hundreds of thousands of COVID victims he got killed and undo their suffering or that of their families? And that's only the tip of it. Trump is an active shooter.
And we're standing around outside the school talking tactics. Job number one is damage control.
Justice can come later. We have huge challenges there. It's not about a man but a movement. And a movement of immense destructive capability that even its creators can't control, the 'libertarian' scam the Kochs and others put on America.
Which is a license to plunder. Nothing else. A plea deal, if one can be reached, should constrain Trump as much as possible. But a deal is a good thing if it keeps him from being in a position again where he can destroy people's lives.
A deal has to preclude him from ever holding office again. And other things. First we stop the harm.
