The Los Angeles Times July 24, 2022 editorial defined some of Donald Trump's crimes but not all. A Donald Trump trial could result in a civil war.
There is no doubt that Donald Trump is "guilty of conspiring to defraud the United States and conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding" but also plotting an insurrection, dereliction of duty and dishonoring his sworn oath when he took the office of president. He ought to be tried and convicted. Sadly millions of Americans still believe Trump won the 2020 election as evidenced on January 6, 2021 and are willing to take up arms. If found guilty, the country would experience a second civil war. His followers have demonstrated their willingness to do his bidding. There are an estimated 393 million civilian-owned firearms in the US and 20 million of them are AR-15 style rifles. Are those trying to uphold the Constitution prepared to go to war to retain this democracy?
