Is Justice and the rule of law fighting for its survival?

What happens to the concept of justice if the people cannot prosecute a former president?

How much favor should be afforded a former president who has committed serious and treasonous crimes against the people and the Constitution?

Is the Justice Dept up to the task of holding every criminal accountable?

Because if we lose the ability to equally apply justice in our democracy, then we have lost our democracy.

In my opinion, it is not a sure thing that justice will prevail.

We want to feel secure in knowing that Justice is winning and that its gears grind exceedingly fine.

If the majority of people say they want Trump as their dictator, then I doubt the charges against him would go any further. That would be the end of our democracy as we have known it, in my opinion.
