Opinion: Trump’s indictment will warp our politics for years to come
The Democrats were right the first time, and in coming years they may regret changing their minds about summoning voter pressure to prosecute political opponents. Short of being written on Biden campaign letterhead, this indictment could hardly be more nakedly political.Just as Trump repeatedly urged legal action against his enemies, Bragg campaigned on his willingness to pursue the ex-president in court.
It’s the long-term effect on our politics that is most worrisome. If a prosecution that even some of Trump’s critics consider a stretch brings him down, then we can expect more dubious prosecutions of politicians in both parties. District attorneys in deep-red jurisdictions can be just as creative as those in New York. Republican voters may grow more adamant about demanding it.
