1/ Listening to @TheBeatWithAri and @Comey is saying no federal indictment of Trump because it would give him a platform. That is nonsense. Trump has a platform whatever DOJ does and whatever happens in any state civil or criminal case.
2/ Comey also says it's OK for states to indict him which gives Trump that platform in addition to social media and Fox.

Comey also says trial would give him platform for months and months. Nonsense. Federal sedition trial against him could be over in a week. One count, videos.
3/ Watergate trial against many defendants with Pres as co-conspirator and multiple charges took from Oct 1 to Jan 1. One sedition count against one defendant should be much simpler. Others guilty can be tried separately while he sits in jail.
4/ Plus, he should face other federal and state civil and criminal charges, too numerous to list in a tweet.

Argument we cannot heal without letting him get away with years of running a criminal enterprise is wrong. Without admission of the truth and accountability, there ...
5/Without admission of the truth and accountability, there will be no healing and the message will be that he is above the law and that future immoral presidents can too. Had Nixon been tried, maybe Trump would not have done all he has.
6/ Bottomline: Comey is wrong on this, just as he was in his conduct in 2016 which played a significant role in getting us where we are.
