"When you consider the through line of Trump’s misconduct, and where it has led us, it’s clear that the cost of giving the former president a pass is simply too great for the nation to bear."
"Clinton and Nixon were relieved of criminal liability, but at least they paid a price — and admitted some fault. Trump has done neither."
"But if there could be any doubt about whether Trump can be given a pass without the rule of law paying too high a price, that ended in the ugly final weeks of Trump’s presidency."
"His attempts to reverse a free and fair election—by any means he saw necessary, including by fomenting violence—have not only undermined the rule of law but also threatened to destroy it altogether. No other president has ever done that...or probably even thought of doing that."
"Merrick Garland should invoke the Justice Department regulations designed to deal with politically charged investigations: the rules providing for appointment of a special counsel. ... Three or four special counsels are needed, [each] accountable to the attorney general."
"Even before he incited the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, Trump had amassed an impressive slate of potential criminal acts — from before his presidency and during. His life amounts to a virtual issue-spotting exercise for any student studying criminal law."
Conway's list:
Russia: "Mueller’s investigation [and] report expressly “does not exonerate” Trump. In particular, it offers extensive evidence that Trump obstructed justice — a road map for any prosecutor willing to embark on the journey."

Ukraine: "Trump’s abuse of presidential power for personal benefit didn’t just constitute an impeachable high crime or misdemeanor. ... As the House Judiciary ... impeachment report concluded, [it] constituted the solicitation of a bribe under the federal bribery statute."
Campaign finance laws: "[T]he Justice Department has, in effect, already determined that Trump [Individual-1] committed: violations of federal campaign-finance laws through payments of hush money to two women who allegedly had affairs with Trump."
Bank, insurance and tax fraud: New York State is investigating “possibly extensive and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization." Conway notes that "if Trump has committed bank or insurance fraud, that would be chargeable as federal offenses as well."
