This is clearly a fraudulent criminal investigation. Classic dictator strategy of charging opponents with trivial crimes to achieve political power grabs. US futures in stock market are way down.
Clearly? When there are very large numbers of people who do not see it so definitively, I think it’s not quite as clear as you suggest. I’d like to see the evidence and not just discard it as pure fiction.
Are you saying the entirety of the DOJ apparatus could be politically steered to look for non-existent evidence or make frivolous referrals?
> Are you saying the entirety of the DOJ apparatus could be politically steered to look for non-existent evidence or make frivolous referrals?
Yes, absolutely and unquestionably. This fact is blatantly, blindingly obvious to anyone who hasn't had their head buried in the sand for the past year.
Or do you believe it’s only one party? What’s your take on the 4 years Biden was in office wrt investigations and prosecutions of Democrat rivals? Clean hands, all legitimate?
For reference I’m not a Trump supporter, since that seems to be relevant to up/down votes here.

*past 5 years
Which was exactly my point. It happens more than it should, and it’s wielded by both parties.
That said, as in all cases I’d like to see the evidence and probable cause and not rely on Fox News or CNN.
I mean yes, the James Comey case followed the exact same formula and was dismissed because the prosecutor was illegally appointed.
>Are you saying the entirety of the DOJ apparatus could be politically steered to look for non-existent evidence or make frivolous referrals?
Yes, have you not been paying attention? Politically motivated prosecution is modus operandi for the Trump administration...

Where are Epstein files?
We, the people, must subpoena DOJ for what appears to be clearly illegal actions.
