I have heard it said that America needs to tread carefully in the way we handle prosecutorial or legal decisions about Donald Trump, lest we provoke violence. We are supposed to worry about the tumult his many indictments might bring from his millions of followers. We should approach the issue of disqualifying Trump under the 14th Amendment with great care, we are warned, as it might bring violent mobs down upon us. And, most recently, we are told there will be bedlam if he doesn’t get complete immunity.
