1. My vote in that poll

I would have to say based on the wording I would be in the “not sure” category. Obviously it’s wrong for the President to just use the justice department to investigate people without merit. But let’s say a Democratic president is in place in 2029 are we going to be okay with just letting all of this shit that’s happened go and move on? I’m not. There has to be some accounting for it so I would hope the justice department would be looking into it
