Comin' back atcha now librals! Trump's goin' FULL ANIMAL on you and Your treason will not go unpunished!
I'm going to be serious, here. While the idea that Trump's campaign colluded with Russia during 2016 was one that was concerning, and I'm happy it wasn't true because it would've been a dire thing if true, the reaction we are seeing, and have been seeing, to the investigation is more concerning to me. The way these discussions are occurring about using the DoJ as a partisan tool is far more concerning to me than Russia's interference in our election, with or without help from Trump's campaign. I expect the investigations in the legislature to be partisan, that's the nature of the beast, but what we're seeing is a part of the formula for tyranny.
I sincerely hope that Barr is the type of person I think he is and will protect the independence of the DoJ. I don't have quite the negative view of him a lot of people on my side of the aisle do. This is going to test our institutions in a way they have yet to be tested.
