This former federal prosecutor has a point — at least 55 of them.
Enough with giving the former guy the “benefit of the doubt” — that is something he no longer is owed.
Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner urged the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on Sunday to stop playing "games" with Donald Trump and to criminally indict him.
[...]
"When has Trump's strategy of delaying the legal process not worked? Not won him enough time, sometimes to run out the clock," Kirschner said. "I do wish the Department of Justice would stop playing Donald Trump's reindeer games, stop playing on Donald Trump's playing field, because civil litigation is Donald Trump's playing field. It's where he can best weaponize the delay that is inherent in the civil litigation process. You know how DOJ can put an end to all of that: indict him."
Kirschner added that once someone is indicted criminally, "the delays, the ability to appeal things in a piecemeal fashion is over. Because then, virtually the only time you get to appeal anything is after you've gone to trial, been convicted, been sentenced and then the appeals begin."

The longer this Serial Liar is allowed to keep making a mockery of the Justice system, the longer he will keep stirring up his gun-toting followers with more lies and fury … as demonstrated at a weekend rally ..
"I had a small number of boxes in storage. There is no crime. They should give me immediately back everything they have taken from me because it's mine," Trump said.
He went on to accuse the FBI of planting evidence, and alluded to reports that documents containing nuclear secrets had been seized in the raid.
"They plant documents. Let's see, is there a book on nuclear destruction or building of a nuclear weapon, let's put that book in with Trump," the former president told supporters, appearing to paraphrase those plotting against him.

There was a Reporter [Vaughn Hillyard] from MSNBC who was covering the Arizona Trump Rally, who explained to Nicolle Wallace today, on Deadline White House:
Event participant: You seem like a nice enough guy, but you should probably leave.
Reporter: Why is that?
Event participant: Because when things get serious, you reporters are going to be among the first.
Reporter: Among the first what?
Event participant: The first to die.
THIS is what humoring the career criminal, who conned his way into office and rallied a mob to keep him there, has led to.
This guy routinely calls the Traditional Media the enemy (and Judges and FBI agents), as he riles up his personal backyard militia, who hinge on his every word. It is starting to get dangerous, even more so than usual.
The right-wing chatter on “civil war” is at record levels ...
Jan 6th was the warm-up act. 2022 Elections will be their next targets of ire — IF they don’t win.
THIS is what humoring the Electoral Loser of the 2020 Election has led to.

The longer this Thief of Classified Documents is allowed to keep making a mockery of the Justice system, the longer he will keep stirring up his gun-toting followers with more lies and fury …
“You know how DOJ can put an end to all of that: indict him," so says Glenn Kirschner, former federal prosecutor.
Any one of us would already be behind bars, if we had done even a quarter of what Trump has done … and continues to do.
Indict him now. Let him play his “reindeer games” as he is facing a grand jury, for all his Obstruction, and various other known crimes.
