Like most things in politics today, it may be a "Lesser of 2 Evils" choice


As in, choice 1, try to heal the country by NOT going after the Republicans, EXCEPT in cases where there's already a LOT of evidence and the crime is pretty clear. The downside of that, making it an evil? The Republicans who 'got away with it' with smile and mutter "Sucker" under their breath and know that they can get away with it again.

Choice 2 - aggressively go after Trump, his family and any/all enablers - PRESUMING that you actually have some prima facie evidence of a crime. The downside making it an evil? It will make us look more like a Banana Republic.

So which one is the LESSER evil? In my opinion, I lean towards Choice 2. You're going to investigate where there is prima facie evidence. Maybe don't get over zealous on little fish, nor on smaller scale violations, but I think the GREATER danger is in letting them get away with it. Modern day Republican leaders have proven time and again that they worship basic Machiavelli ism. The ends justifies the means. If they don't get punished, why not do it again?
