Ross Douthat: You don’t just need a plausible legal case; you need an easy-to-explain slam dunk.
Attorney General Merrick Garland speaks in Washington, Tuesday, Aug. 2, 2022.The two weeks since the FBI descended on Mar-a-Lago have felt remarkably familiar.
None of these scenarios were proved by the investigation. As many Trump critics hastened to argue, the Mueller report did not exonerate the president or his campaign from wrongdoing. But the guilt established or suggested involved many things done in the clear light of day in an election that Trump won , things attempted but never brought to fruition and possible obstructions of justice in the course of the Mueller inquiry.
Now here we are again, and like the decisions of Mueller and James Comey before him, Merrick Garland’s choices turn on facts that the public can see only through a glass darkly. But I sincerely hope that the attorney general had the Russiagate experience in mind when he signed off on the search of Mar-a-Lago and that he considers how Mueller’s investigation finished as he considers his next move.
