    I’m fearful we are backing him into a corner and his only option is to order his tens of millions of rabid followers to create chaos.

    It didn’t take him being backed into a corner to do that on Jan 6th. Since he’s done it before and you’re positing he’ll do it again when threatened legally, there’s no difference in outcome. The legal structures and framework should be followed through with the arrest and trial as planned.

      True, and I’m not saying by any means he shouldn’t be prosecuted. The consequences of letting these actions go unpunished are way more severe than any riot. I guess I’m just apprehensive because I just don’t see how this won’t end in violence one way or another.
