No, I don't think you do get my argument. My argument is not that corruption isn't illegal. Not that it isn't true, because a lot of times it isn't. But my argument is that it is stupid to lament the lack of raids on people if you don't even have a sense of what crime they have supposedly committed. Do you want to know what abusing the DOJ for political reasons looks like? This is it.
As for your special prosecutor.
The, "Bill Barr was a paragon of judicial independence bit" flies in the face of all the evidence to the contrary, just as the whole idea that a special prosecutor would make going after Trump acceptable in the eyes of his supporters.
Bill Barr misrepresented the Mueller report to such an extent, that both the special prosecutor and a judge said he misrepresented the findings. And the special prosecutor he did appoint is not only openly partisan but he's conducted an investigation that has gotten one guilty plea and an aquittal that took the jury about 3 seconds to reach. Neither of them come even close to pretending to answer his purported mandate. Not to mention the times he's personally intervened even to the point of his prosecutors quitting to protect people close to Trump.
Mueller was accused of conducting a political witchhunt, despite being a registered Republican and being appointed by people appointed by Trump. Do you honestly expect me to believe that you would even consider a special prosecutor appointed by a person nominated to his post by Biden would convince you of an independent impartial investigation?
I will tell you this. A special prosecutor would extend the investigation and I have zero confidence that a Trump administration AG if reelected would countenance letting him finish the job. Nor do I think you would want him to.
