This is a foundation of our country. We have made this claim to the world about this.

So trump needs his day in court. There has been evidence found of wrong doing. And add to it, much of it was televised. That means the world has seen it. We need to stand up and show the world we mean what we say.

He will have his chance to answer the charges. He will have representation. He will have every opportunity to defend himself.

We can not let the fear of upsetting a faction of people to interrupt this process. It will make us look weak to the enemies of this country.

To allow these wayward citizens to interrupt the legal system with threats of violence will/would destroy this country than their attempt at a civil war.
