Trump DOJ didnt just take the high road

When it failed to prosecute Hillary Clinton. Its pretty clear there was little to no case against her.

It took a really really high road when it decided not to indict Trump for 10 counts of obstruction of justice stemming from the Russian investigation. Then it took the higher road when it didn't indict Trump as the co-conspirator in the Cohen case, but put Cohen in jail. It then took the highest road when it said screw it let's ignore years of business fraud.

Indeed, when they complain about NY doing a political prosecution, what they're saying is that Trump's DOJ politically ignored these crimes at the high-level, but you're cheating and finding ways in NY civil and criminal courts to prosecute them.

To sum up, Trump's DOJ ignored his own crimes. If he is elected he will committ more crimes. He's likely committing crimes as we speak. He is a criminal. Sitting in front of him pretend he took the high road on locking up his enemies is laughable. The dude's road only runs straight through the swamp.

1. He's a crime wave all by himself. Let the other lawsuits/states about ready to charge him w/ something

start piling on too, in addition to all of the other states that have already done so. Too long he has either paid people under the table or BS'ed his way out of charges. Now maybe w/ the door wide open after his first full trial and 34 guilty verdicts, the other jurisdictions will come forth, and nail the loser.

3. He's spent his life suing people that didn't have the money to defend themselves

Now maybe he'll be the guy facing endless lawsuits without the money to fight any of them.

A man can dream, can't he?

He is quite busy rigging the upcoming election.
All of his accusations are confessions.

but then again, 40 months and counting (includes foot dragging) doesn't help much either.

obstruction and "individual one." He was still president and he would have appealed to the Supreme Court citing the DOJ memo about not indicting a sitting president. How do you think this fascist court would have ruled. and then it would have been written in stone.

This is why Mueller didn't indict TSF.

The question I have is after TSF left office why didn't Garland indict? TSF was no longer president.
