I have a plan to hold Trump accountable for his second administration.
Key Points:
- A growing majority of Americans, particularly Democrats, demand accountability for alleged crimes and corruption by the Trump administration since January 2025, with 77% supporting criminal prosecution of officials for various actions including military strikes and immigration enforcement abuses.
- Despite public skepticism fueled by past impeachments and Supreme Court rulings granting presidential immunity, there is increasing public anger over elite impunity and a desire for a government that enforces accountability under the law.
- Congressional oversight is expected to be the initial step toward accountability after the upcoming midterms, but efforts may face obstruction from Trump allies, media manipulation, and public disillusionment, limiting their effectiveness.
- True accountability, including criminal investigations, legal reforms, and institutional changes, will likely need to begin after a potential administration change in January 2029, involving independent DOJ prosecutions, lustration of officials, and a Truth Commission to fully investigate administration misconduct.
- The article emphasizes that accountability is essential for democracy and rule of law, distinguishing it from retribution, and warns that failure to hold officials responsible risks perpetuating impunity and undermining democratic institutions.
