In testimony at the federal trial of Prakazrel "Pras" Michel, actor Leonardo DiCaprio told the court that Michel carried out a money-laundering scheme that illegally diverted $20 million to help fund the reelection of President Barrack Obama in 2012. Additional witnesses testified that they were wired money and asked to forward it to the Obama campaign.
US Attorney General Merrick Garland discounted the possibility of following up on this allegation, saying "I see no basis for pursuing this matter. For of all, investigating potential wrongdoing by former presidents is not something we do in a genuine democracy. Second, the statute of limitations on any crime committed in 2012 has run out. Third, there is no evidence that an illegal donation toward the reelection of this century's best US President has resulted in any harm. To the contrary, if this money did decide the election outcome it had the immeasurable benefit of keeping the insipid Mitt Romney from becoming the nation's chief executive."
In related news, in testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Garland was asked about his agency's disparate treatment of several right-leaning activists. In one example, James O'Keefe, a journalist who exposes left-wing wrongdoing, was subjected to a pre-dawn FBI raid on his home in Westchester County, NY in November 2021. He was dragged outside in his underwear while FBI agents searched his apartment. The AG maintained that "I don't get involved in decisions like this, but considering that we are fighting against the enemies of our democracy, I would be averse to questioning what amount of force is used or how intimidated or humiliated the subjects of the Agency's enforcement teams may be."

Only certain party ex-presidents are held accountable for “illegal” actions.
Because, as we all know, NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW*
*Unless they are a democrat.
What’s good for Trump is good for all former Presidents.
This just proves that democRats are the party of con artists and criminals!
That’s the way Africans do things.
And also why Africa is such a wonderful place to live!
