The Politics of Trump's Indictment

What we are discussing here is whether or not what Trump did was a crime. We're not discussing whether or not he did it. That's not really at stake. The fact that Smith does not have a crime that he can easily apply to Trump's activity I think is a feature of the system not a bug. And the way the system is designed, presidential abuses of power are supposed to be checked by Congress, not by the criminal law.
