In the echo chamber that is the NY DA's office, an indictment of Trump using a novel legal theory will appear to be clever, but not so much to the rest of the United States. However, as we said in the movie "This Is Spinal Tap", there is a fine line between clever and stupid.

The justification for indicting an ex-President - whatever you may think of him - must be clear to the American people. Further, the trauma to the American people of putting an ex-President on trial must be worth the effort. Let the people decide through our system of primaries, however flawed, and then, if necessary, the general election.

"As was said" not "as we said", my mistake.
