Today’s indictment of the former president is important. It’s probably not the last indictment he’ll face, and probably not the biggest. (We can’t know till it’s made public.) But it’s huge. (Thread)

At one time, I thought this would be a sad day. This country put a man into office who has openly, brazenly flouted the law at every turn. An entire party power structure enabled him—and is still trying to enable him. Our democracy is not in good shape.

And this will be a process. Trump will push his lawyers to file every motion possible, legitimate or otherwise. He’ll campaign off of his “persecution.” Today’s gratification will yield to some frustration before the trial can occur.

But at this point, after all this time, this is a good day. That this abhorrent man must face the criminal justice system—despite his wealth and power—means something. We’re a long way from equal justice for all, but this is a critical step forward. That is worth celebrating.
