I think the “Jack Smith Gives Up” headline isn’t fair since it was other people’s fault he was appointed so late. But other than that I think conservative David Frum’s article pointing out that Trump got away with treason and this is a dangerous thing for the future of the country is spot on.

No, definitely not. But if Dems raise the issue, and make the argument, and get Republicans to go on record supporting Trump, it's easier to drive voter turnout in the midterms. Angry people vote, and things are going to get much worse if the Democrats roll over without a fight. Remember, Republicans were the minority party when they effectively stalled Clinton, Obama, and Biden for 20 years. Democrats act like they need a supermajority to do anything.
