all you posted was the fact that Trump, unlike Xiden and harris, never actually prosecuted or targeted political rivals.

Durham Distances Himself From Furor in Right-Wing Media Over Filing
WASHINGTON — John H. Durham, the Trump-era special counsel scrutinizing the investigation into Russia’s 2016 election interference, distanced himself on Thursday from false reports by right-wing news outlets that a motion he recently filed said Hillary Clinton’s campaign had paid to spy on Trump White House servers.
Citing a barrage of such reports on Fox News and elsewhere based on the prosecutor’s Feb. 11 filing, defense lawyers for a Democratic-linked cybersecurity lawyer, Michael Sussmann, have accused the special counsel of including unnecessary and misleading information in filings “plainly intended to politicize this case, inflame media coverage and taint the jury pool.”
In a filing on Thursday, Mr. Durham defended himself, saying those accusations about his intentions were “simply not true.” He said he had “valid and straightforward reasons” for including the information in the Feb. 11 filing that set off the firestorm, while disavowing responsibility for how certain news outlets had interpreted and portrayed it.
“If third parties or members of the media have overstated, understated or otherwise misinterpreted facts contained in the government’s motion, that does not in any way undermine the valid reasons for the government’s inclusion of this information,” he wrote.

The special counsel implicitly acknowledged that White House internet data he discussed, which conservative outlets have portrayed as proof of spying on the Trump White House, came from the Obama era.www.nytimes.com
Tell your dear leader that.

it seems a mention of the fictional character bothers you!
It does when that person is running for president.
When that candidate, talks as though, the fictional character is real and alive.

If you’re having trouble recalling all the ways in which DOJ’s independence, professionalism, and reputation were sullied by Trump’s depredations, the NYT offers a much-needed reminder in a tight, accessible and very on-point package it published over the weekend.
The lead story in the package, authored by reporter Michael S. Schmidt, includes new, never-before-reported details about efforts by the Trump White House Counsel’s Office to steer him away from even worse abuses of the Justice Department and to memorialize those efforts in a self-protective memo, drafts of which they reportedly snuck out of the White House for safekeeping. Your ass-covering memo doesn’t do you much good if it’s hidden away in a White House vault you can no longer access – or is simply destroyed.
A valuable sidebar to the main story is a list of some of the highest profile instances of Trump abusing DOJ to target people he considered threats. It’s a good refresher if time, ambiguity, and the sheer volume of Trump’s transgressions have overwhelmed your memory.
New Details Emerge On How Trump Already Weaponized DOJ The First Time
A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This...talkingpointsmemo.comAs President, Trump Demanded Investigations of Foes. He Often Got Them.
Interviews, court filings and secret White House documents shed new light on how Mr. Trump’s demands for prosecutions in the spring of 2018 ignited a behind-the-scenes push by some of his top aides to contain his impulses, protect the rule of law and insulate the White House from legal and political blowback — issues that some of them say are arguably even more acute today.
The memo that Mr. McGahn’s lawyers in the White House Counsel’s Office produced following Mr. Trump’s April 2018 tirade about prosecuting Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Comey amounted to a primer on presidential power — and the limits on it — when it comes to the justice system, according to draft copies of it.
As President, Trump Demanded Investigations of Foes. He Often Got Them.
He has threatened to target his perceived enemies if elected again. A look at his time in the White House shows how readily he could do so.
There is ample evidence as part of the public record that trump's effort to corrupt the DoJ, some of which succeeded and some of which was thwarted by aides, is immediately disqualifying for a second term.
Adoring trump fans will look away, call it fake news, call it TDS, do what they must to ignore the simple, obvious, demonstrable truth. trump is not qualified to be the next prez. Presidential candidates have historically always viewed being elected as an opportunity to serve the nation. trump sees it as an opportunity to serve himself.
Here's the problem.......
Trump (And the Right) has only had the WH 4 years out of the last 16 or so. So the Left has had a solid grip on the WH and US power overall for the vast majority of the last 16 years. That's a long time.
Even if Trump did as you said...the Left has done it FAR more and for FAR longer
So your point is actually a substantially ignorance and biased based waste of everyone's time.
(And if he does it again if elected, well a little balancing might not be a bad thing)
Your dear leader THINKS BOTH are real.
