They tried and failed to throw Trump into prison, primarily because of the Supreme Court's ruling on Presidential immunity. That decision will apply to any cases brought against a future president, Democrat or Republican.

The Supreme Court did the right thing in cramming that particular piece of insanity back into the box where it belonged. I think it is a bad idea for the country for President Trump or his administration to try to undermine the very decision that confirmed presidential immunity.

Aside from that, it's just a dumb move politically. When the Supreme Court came out and clarified presidential immunity, leading to those cases being dropped, that helped candidate Trump and the GOP politically. Most of the country will still look at the winner of a Supreme Court decision as having been in the right, and the loser as having attempted to undermine the law.

It turned out that the majority of the American people didn't like the weaponization of their justice system. Fancy that. So why give Obama and the Democrats an equivalent political victory when he inevitably wins his own court decisions in those same immunity grounds?

If there are underlings for whom a prosecution can be brought with a good chance of success, fine. But going after Obama himself is a bad idea.

Well, I'm not a lawyer or nothing but I think the difference between the two situations is the case against Trump was a pile of hooey, and that against Obama and his crew, from what we read, is a real and a factual case of treason....seemingly so anyway.

If something isn't done to stop the political tomfoolery the rat-crats will continue to do their thing until all of DC is in the toilet. Well, it might be too late to prevent that but maybe we can salvage something. (?)
