If then-AG Janet Reno did appoint a special prosecutor to investigate a real estate transaction..

that only turned up an infamous stain on a woman's dress..

Special prosecutor Kenneth Starr's witch-hunt of the Clinton's Whitewater real estate investments turned up nothing, no criminal wrong doing of any kind.

Not to be defeated, Starr pressed on. Thus, we were "graced" with the stain heard round-the-world. Again, not even that stain could raise Bubba to the thresh-hold of any criminal prosecution or the failed, laughable attempt to impeach.

Funny how Rethugs wanted witnesses for a stain on a woman's dress but not for an orange felon who aided and abetted with Putin to interfere with our democracy.

My point
If Janet Reno can appoint an SP for Whitewater which led to investigating Bubba's stain on Monica's dress...

Imagine the army of special prosecutors that will have to be appointed to investigate the orange felon and his numerous crimes against our nation and against our democracy, by the next Attorney General.

Trump is the most corrupt elected(illegitimate) official in the history of human democracy. Nixon pales in comparison.

Again, if Janet Reno appointed an SP to investigate a fucking c*m stain, then the next AG must appoint an army of prosecutors to investigate the attempted overthrowing of our fucking right to vote. And the numerous other felonies committed by Don the con and his family.

Simply put, this must happen or just toss out rule of law, fuck it.

Are we rule of law or not?

I vote for rule of law.

Encouraged the belief that Republicans are above the law. The system is so lopsided. Their corrupt behavior lets their constituents believe that the process can be ignored and that’s why they keep voting incompetent and/or evil presidents. Because they know that Democrats in office won’t do anything about it. So, Republicans keep pardoning their own and Democratic presidents turn the other cheek, at the same time that their programs get pummeled by Senate Republicans.

You know what? It all matters. Because, what they see Republicans get away with in Congress, they are doing to us at the local level. They abuse our friendships and our kindness, making our communities hostile. Their way of dealing with the incongruities is to push us out. So, expect more hostilities to erupt, because the buck is not stopping at the desk of the Oval Office when there is a Democratic president behind the desk.

In the Whitewater investigation 15 people were convicted of 40 felonies including the governor of Arkansas who had to resign. Several people went to prison and others were pardoned by President Clinton.
