Column: As a Trump indictment looms, Republicans are throwing the rule of law under the bus

LA Times  

Former President Trump has posted on social media that he expects to be arrested soon on charges related to a porn star pay-off. Implausibly, McCarthy, a reliable Trump puppet, insisted the House Republicans’ trammeling of a criminal investigation “has nothing to do with whether runs for president again or not.” Right. Recall a boast last summer of McCarthy’s ally, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the Judiciary Committee chair who spearheaded the letter to Bragg: Back then, anticipating the probes he’d open against Biden once Republicans won a House majority, Jordan told a reporter, “That will help frame up the 2024 race, when I hope and I think President Trump is going to run again. In his Saturday morning post predicting his arrest, Trump urged his followers to “PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!” How could Republicans not immediately flash back to Trump’s exhortations ahead of Jan. 6, 2021? And I know that history will hold Donald Trump accountable.” But apparently Pence doesn’t want our justice system to hold Trump accountable: “I’m taken aback at the idea of indicting a former president of the United States.” He complained of “another politically charged prosecution” of Trump and said Americans have a “well-founded” frustration with what seems to be “a two-tier justice system.” Yes, many of us are irked with our justice system.
