George Conway hands the DOJ a roadmap to make sure Trump ends up in jail
George Conway hands the DOJ a roadmap to make sure Trump ends up in jail

"Trump departed the White House a possible many would say probable, provable criminal, one who has left a sordid trail of potential and actual misconduct that remains to be fully investigated," wrote Conway. "A desperate fear of criminal indictment may even explain Trump's willingness to break any number of laws to stay in office despite losing his reelection bid, democracy and the Constitution be damned."

One important avenue, wrote Conway, is to follow the lead of New York prosecutors.
"[Manhattan DA Cyrus] Vance is running a state investigation, but if Trump has committed bank or insurance fraud, that would be chargeable as federal offenses as well, including mail or wire fraud," wrote Conway. "So, too, with state tax offenses, given how Trump's federal and state returns would no doubt track one another. Trump apparently had good reason to be concerned about who would fill [Preet] Bharara's old job."

"With Trump, there's so much to investigate criminally that one special counsel can't do it all," wrote Conway. "Could you imagine one prosecutor in charge of addressing Trump's finances and taxes, his hush-money payments, obstruction of the Mueller investigation, the Ukraine scandal, and post-election misconduct, for starters? It would be an impossible task for one team. One special counsel's office couldn't do it all, not in any reasonable amount of time, and it's important for prosecutors to finish their work as quickly as possible. Three or four special counsels are needed. Under the regulations, each would be accountable to the attorney general."..........................................

We do not want a long, drawn out serial spectacle. We've known for years where the evidence has led to on multiple lines of criminal, political behavior. Appoint at least 4 sperate counsels, more if warranted.
A year ago, Trump was beginning to panic with his 1st Impeachment wake-up call. Re-election became his laser focus, at the cost of no leadership on the Covid pandemic. This too should be investigated for a chargeable criminal dereliction of duty in his role as C-in-C.
