This is actually one reason why someone put forth the idea that Trump going on a pardon spree at the last minute is a great thing for Biden. It means he doesn't have to make that decision as it has been made for him.

Then set it.  I realize I am a person who wants what is right over what has always been.  If want to hold our elected officials to no consequences because then then next guy will "look for something" I'm completely against that.

What was the multiple Benghazi hearings?  What was the "investigation" into Obama "spying" on Trump?

They were exactly what should be done to Trump.

And it should be bipartisan but it won't be because they mostly ARE all guilty of "something" and they protect each other.  I'm against that the same way I am against when the good police protect "bad apples" so that THEY don't get looked at.

Just so our resident law and order poster understands that I never want to hear him complain about anything any elected official does going forward then.  Since he doesn't feel that upholding the law is as important as maintaining status quo in the US.

Damn right I want to see people who commit crimes get investigated no matter who they are. I'm kinda stunned you don't.  But only "kinda" cause Trump.  But then it's not personal with me and DJT...it's about seeing what is right done.  Just like you can say you don't give two craps yet here you are insisting it shouldn't be done because lots of people support him.

And he will be investigated.  Maybe only on the state level but it will happen.  

Once again I'm aware I prefer a more perfect solution vs "eh, they might go after one of my guys some day" approach because I feel we should all be treated equally...and I know that won't happen.  Doesn't mean I can't want it.
