There are so many political cowards among Senate Republicans — along with those supportive of, or at least deferential to, the white-supremacist “politics” personified by Donald Trump — that they were able to manufacture a “not guilty” verdict in Trump’s second impeachment trial.

Notwithstanding the Senate’s denial of reality in Trump’s incitement of the January 6 insurrection, Trump broke numerous laws during his four years in office.

Mitch McConnell — the Republican leader in the Senate — openly admitted as much in the shameless “have my cake and eat it too” screed he delivered immediately after letting Trump off on a bogus technicality (a bogus technicality that McConnell himself engineered).

And here’s the thing:

A president who is no longer in office is subject to investigation and prosecution for any and all crimes he committed while in office.

So, despite — or maybe because of — the Republican Party’s ongoing fear of and fealty to Donald Trump, it is now up to the justice system to hold Trump accountable.

Join Public Citizen in urging Attorneys General and District Attorneys across the country to investigate Trump for any crimes he committed within their jurisdictions and to prosecute the former president to the full extent of the law.

Add your name.

Thanks for taking action.

For justice,

- Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen
