Over and over when the subject of Don's promise he will use the DoJ to go after his enemies comes up (a promise we have no reason he will try to fulfill), specious comparisons are made to his own prosecution.
WASHINGTON — President Trump told the White House counsel in the spring that he wanted to order the Justice Department to prosecute two of his political adversaries: his 2016 challenger, Hillary Clinton, and the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, according to two people familiar with the conversation.
The lawyer, Donald F. McGahn II, rebuffed the president, saying that he had no authority to order a prosecution. Mr. McGahn said that while he could request an investigation, that too could prompt accusations of abuse of power. To underscore his point, Mr. McGahn had White House lawyers write a memo for Mr. Trump warning that if he asked law enforcement to investigate his rivals, he could face a range of consequences, including possible impeachment.
The encounter was one of the most blatant examples yet of how Mr. Trump views the typically independent Justice Department as a tool to be wielded against his political enemies. It took on additional significance in recent weeks when Mr. McGahn left the White House and Mr. Trump appointed a relatively inexperienced political loyalist, Matthew G. Whitaker, as the acting attorney general.

The unavoidable reality you folks keep avoiding about the prosecution of Trump for his crimes is they were all signed off on by grand juries. Making a mockery of the allegation it is the Dem's doing or the doing of Joe Biden. After all,
both grand jurors and trial jurors are summoned from the same pool of eligible citizens. The level of paranoia it requires to believe the people making up those juries are controlled by Dem's is equivalent to the paranoia required to believe a presidential election held across 50 disparate states can be rigged.
I understand the idea that Don's prosecutions aren't corrupt goes against every lie you've been told by him and RWM for months. Lies told so many times it's become second nature for you to believe them. As always they are absent any real evidence. Was there evidence of tampering with the grand juries or the trial juries? No. Is there physical, testimonial, and documentary evidence of crimes being committed? Yes. Are there credible allegations the evidence presented to the juries has been tampered with? No.
The Following has nothing to rely on but a false narrative created by a convicted criminal and his defenders. Defenders like fellow criminal Steve Bannon. So the next time you regurgitate the "but Biden" talking point realize you do nothing but humiliate yourselves.
