Letâs stipulate something up front: Glenn Kirschner is no friend of Donald J. Trump. Indeed, Kirschner is a noted critic of the ex-POTUS and someone who speaks frequently and loudly about why he detests the idea of Donald Trump ever holding the office of president.
However ⌠Kirschner is an experienced prosecuting attorney who once served in that capacity for the U.S. Army. He said today that after listening to Attorney General Merrick Garlandâs remarks on National Public Radio that The Donald is facing criminal conspiracy charges from the Department of Justice.
Newsweek reported:
âWe begin with the cases that are right in front of us with the overt actions and then we build from there,â the attorney general said. âAnd that is a process that we will continue to build until we hold everyone accountable who committed criminal acts with respect to January 6.â
Hundreds of Trumpâs supporters stormed the Capitol after the then-president at a nearby rally urged them to march to the federal legislative building and to âfight like hell.â More than 780 of Trumpâs supporters have been indicted for their actions that day, with some saying in court that they believed they were carrying out Trumpâs orders.
Then Kirschner posted this item via Twitter: Â âAccordingly, the only rational conclusion that can be drawn from AG Garlandâs promise is that . . . TRUMP. WILL. BE. CHARGED. Because #JusticeMatters.â
I am not a lawyer (duh, obviously!) but I am going to presume that an experienced barrister can detect nuance that goes over the heads of us laypeople.
Garland has promised to follow the law wherever it leads. He also has pledged to never let politics guide any decision he makes on behalf of the federal agency he leads. I believe AG Garland is an honorable man and that he will obey the oath he took and will keep the promise he has made.
If the path he follows leads him to The Donaldâs doorstep, then I expect him fully to indict the former president of the United States on a charge of conspiring to overturn the results of a duly constituted presidential election.
Wouldnât that just be a kick in the rear end?
