I mean, Obama didn't go after Sarah Palin, even though she abused her power as Alaska's governor and violated state ethics law by trying to get her ex-brother-in-law fired and even though she created the $386k "Alaska Fund Trust," which she used as a private “legal defense fund” while governor.

Aside from the fact that the FBI will not find any wrongdoing, Trump is setting a dangerous precedent---for himself, when he is out of office.
