(1) Trump, if president, will appoint a DOJ who will set aside caution and go straight for Biden. So Garland should "fight fire with fire."

(3) The insurrection was serious enough to risk starting with Trump.
All of these arguments are flawed (for the reasons I talked about in my FAQs.)
One thing the article doesn't mention as a factor . . .
