I take your point, and your reporting is stellar as always, but I worry that media focus on the novelty of accountability vs crimes plays into right-wing propaganda about politicization.

I think discussing both, together, does the job. At least, that is my approach.
Also, though, every report will be about the alleged crimes as the case moves forward. Not every report will be about the unusual nature of the accountability. (Just look at the reporting on the documents case to see that.)
Of course. I get the concern. I just think you have to ignore reality and our history to not talk about that aspect. And that, in the long run, could actually be worse than acknowledging and discussing it forthrightly.
The most salient and unusual fact in this case is that the Orange Troll is the first Chief Executive of the United States to refuse to accept the peaceful transition of power since 1796, which just emphasizes the childish and lawless nature of this criminal buffoon and his craven cult.

Perhaps I'm an outlier in my worries.

Thank you, I appreciate your objective and courteous responses.
