When you tweet demanding that Merrick Garland perp march Trump you do Trump's work for him. That includes you, @JoyAnnReid

"Lock her up" is a slogan that is destructive to democracy and the rule of law. It criminalizes politics. It is evil.

So don't do it from our side

I think people want Merrick Garland to act like that trash Ken Starr and assign his version of Kavanaugh to leak grand jury testimony to the press. That's not how it is supposed to work.

DOJ investigations are supposed to be confidential until they file charges.

I don't want traitors like Oliver North to walk because of a technicality. I don't want Trump to get away with it because the investigation was rushed or the prosecutors cut corners. Make it perfect and wrap it up with a bow so it sticks.

Can you imagine how empowering it would be for Trump to be acquitted because the prosecution rushed and bowed to public pressure?

I want him to prosecuted and convicted, but I want it done right so it sticks.

I also want to you do-something-tweeters to think about what you want. You want another Comey speaking out of turn and affecting an election. You want another Ken Starr fapping over his garbage can with DC reporters. You want another Durham making ridiculous indictments for show

You want a retributive, partisan Justice Department that will weaponize itself on behalf of whoever is in the White House. You want people prosecuted for their beliefs, rather than their acts.

Let this be investigated and only those charges that are appropriate be made.

You cannot fight authoritarianism with your own authoritarianism
