12. There are more downsides to NOT appealing.

Not appealing sets a precedent and could weaken whatever DOJ decides to do to hold Trump accountable.
Not appealing is a sign of weakness.
After the Trumpians get that inch, they will be ready to take a mile.
The respect and compliance with the justice system will sink to new lows and may never be recoverable.
There will be violence by the right no matter what. The nation is already torn asunder.
Not appealing will embolden the complicit MAGA within our House and Senate.
Not appealing will lessen the importance and seriousness of the security issues surrounding the TS documents in the minds of the public.

I will be pissed.
