Scarborough’s Siren’s Call: MSNBC Host Demands The Arrest Of Trump, Giuliani, and Trump Jr. For Insurrection — Jonathan Turley UPDATED

Summary:
I highly respect Jonathan Turley as a lawyer, but I think he may be too dismissive here. This is going to be debated for some time, even if it is not litigated.Why am I not on board as a libertarian of the left? While I highly value a rights-based system over a rule by men and agree in principle with his argument, the context here is more complicated than he makes out. This incident was orchestrated over a period of time to the degree that it is genuinely perplexing as to why the security forces were not effective in preventing a breach of the US Capitol by a mob. Moreover, there is no let up in the instigation of insurrection yet.Scarborough’s Siren’s Call: MSNBC Host Demands The Arrest Of Trump, Giuliani, and Trump Jr. For InsurrectionJonathan Turley | Shapiro Professor of Public

I agree with Turley here. Intent is difficult to prove. This is why the banks were not prosecuted for mortgage fraud in the GFC according to the US AG.

Turley is also correct that law is often (mis)used as a social, political and/or economic weapon. Regrettable, but SOP.
