Prosecutor Jack Smith proved yesterday that, in a world of coups and dictators, America is still a nation of law and justice.

A grand jury of ordinary Americans indicted Donald Trump for trying, as President, to overturn the 2020 election.

Trump will keep defying the rule of law. He will keep lying. Some 37% of Republicans will keep believing him.

We hope our nation withstands Trump’s treachery. We hope America will remain what another Republican President, Ronald Reagan, hailed as “a shining city on a hill.”
