Ken Ballen : There is a powerful moral and legal precedent for the federal prosecution of former President Donald Trump over the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the US Capitol .
He says Peter MacDonald , the head of the Navajo Nation , incited a riot to overthrow his democratically elected tribal government in 1989 .
Ballen says the parallels between MacDonald ’s case and the 2021 insurrection are startling.
Either way, if the rule of law applies to the chief executive of the largest Indian nation in the United States for inciting a riot to overthrow his tribal government, then it surely applies to the chief executive of the United States for similar conduct that resulted in the loss of life. We must conclude in the former president’s case what the prosecutor did in MacDonald ’s: in the United States of America , no person is above the law..
