Your post was well stated. I get it.

However...have I not read this in Orwell’s 1984 or was it Atlas Shrugged?

“not every abuse of power, no matter how outrageous, is necessarily a federal crime.”

SCOTUS just said this. If Trump used his DOJ in a partisan manner as his predecessor did they would go after him in a year or four years and vice versa after that.

I want a non-partisan DOJ. Period. I do NOT want government agencies playing politics. Period.

It is dangerous.

Reveal the truth about what happened, prosecute people when appropriate, and let the chips fall where they will in the historical record.

Barr indicated today that he is not a partisan, and I think he stated pretty clearly that we have been right and there will be a reveal of what happened.

At this point, it is better than pounding my keyboard here as all of us (me included) agree that what happened to Trump was wrong on many levels.

Let us see it. Let the media eat it. Let Obama’s reputation absorb the stench. Just put it out there - that is the most important thing to 1) clear the air and 2) prevent this from ever happening again

The alternative, while it would be well-deserved justice for many of us, is dangerous.

I will be disappointed if the main actors in this get away with it too, but we are not there yet. We likely will be, but let’s find out the truth first. That would be the best thing for Donald J. Trump who has called this a hoax from the beginning.

Guess what, our non-partisan AG just called it a hoax too.
