*You have to wonder: if [the corrupter] did shoot someone on Fifth Avenue, would all those prosecutors still be struggling with the question of whether they could or should indict him?*

I see the sense in thinking five times before turning a question of politics into a matter of criminal justice. That can undermine the political system. Sad to say the Republicans have already gone much farther than this, and the line these prosecutors are trying to hold has already fallen. Now the question is whether to fight back or let them win.
