Your comment on the second general interest article, We’re Going to Need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to Recover From Trump from The Nation, was “this is a weakling’s compromise position; we need criminal prosecutions, otherwise powerful people will learn they can continue to break the law with no consequences”.
