First, the New York prosecutor’s case against Trump is garbage. Almost everyone knows this, even the editorial board of the Washington Post.

Second, the Post’s editors fret that a failed prosecution of Trump in the New York case could put in jeopardy possible prosecutions over the January 6 events and the taking of documents to Mar-a-Lago. It could, but I doubt it will.

Third, the garbage indictment may lead to protest demonstrations. Such protests would be understandable and, if non-violent, reasonable.
